2020-2021 Undergraduate Academic Catalog

Summer, Dual Enrollment, and Pre-Professional Studies

Summer Program. The summer session of Blue Mountain College is divided into two four-week terms, with a wide variety of course offerings, making it possible for students to spend part of the summer in work or travel and part in school. Regular students find that summer school provides a chance to take elective courses for the fun of learning, for purposes of personal enrichment, or to enable them to acquire additional majors and minors. A normal load of six (6) semester hours may be earned in each of the two summer terms. Admission to the summer session, as well as to evening classes, does not constitute acceptance for the fall semester or acceptance into a degree program at Blue Mountain College.

Students who are interested in attending the College during the summer are invited to either apply online in the Prospective Student Section on the BMC Web site at www.bmc.edu or write to the Director of Admissions, P.O. Box 160, Blue Mountain, MS 38610 for application forms. Summer course schedule information is available on-line in the “Academics” section on the BMC Web site at www.bmc.edu.

Dual Enrollment Program. The College offers a Dual Enrollment program where early admission may be granted to high school students who have completed the junior year and have a favorable recommendation from a teacher and/or a high school counselor. In addition, the applicant must meet at least two of the following requirements:

  1. GPA of 3.0 or above.
  2. Consistently “proficient” score in the state testing program.
  3. ACT score of 20 or above.
  4. Class rank within the top 10% of their class.
 

Pre-Professional Studies. Blue Mountain College offers a number of majors that furnish a good preparation for admission into a variety of professional schools. Students interested in pursuing entrance into a professional school should work closely with their faculty advisor. Since professional schools differ in their minimal requirements, it is the responsibility of the student to consult the undergraduate catalog of the chosen professional school to be sure that the requisite pre-professional course of study has been completed. Please see the Department of Mathematics and Natural Sciences pages in this catalog for details concerning program requirements while attending Blue Mountain College.
