To be accepted into the Pre-Professional degree program, students must meet the general requirements for admission to FHCHS (see General College Admission in the Admissions Information section) and:

1. Have a minimum cumulative high school unweighted GPA of 2.70 or have taken 12 college credits at a regionally accredited college with a minimum GPA of 2.70.
2. Submit an essay explaining their career goals.
3. Submit American College Test (ACT) or Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores. Scores will be used for placement and advising and not to determine program admission. Applicants having achieved 24 or more college credits from a regionally accredited college are exempt from submitting ACT or SAT test scores.
4. Submit three recommendations on FHCHS recommendation forms. Recommendations submitted at the time of initial application to the College will meet this requirement for current FHCHS students.¹

¹ Recommendation forms expire after three years of receipt by the Office of Enrollment Services.
