The following conditions apply for a student who completes a Bachelor’s degree from Endicott College:
- Maintain a 3.0 GPA through their undergraduate course of study
- Complete the application process for admission into the Institute for Behavioral Studies by the beginning of the Spring semester of their Senior year.
