Application Process
Here's where it all starts!
Early Decision Option

If you know PC is your first choice, take advantage of our Early Decision Option and complete your application file by November 1. You'll know our decision early. If you're admitted, you'll be able to relax and focus on other things, like finding scholarships and keeping up with your high school courses.

This option is a binding agreement. As an Early Decision student, you agree to enroll at PC and withdraw all applications for admission to other institutions if you're admitted to PC under the Early Decision plan. (If you're not admitted under the Early Decision plan, you will still be considered for regular admission to PC and may continue to apply elsewhere.)

Once you're accepted as an Early Decision student, you'll receive an estimated financial aid package by January 15. (For this reason, Early Decision is not recommended if you or your family want to compare financial aid options at multiple institutions before deciding which college you will attend.)

The deadline for submitting the non-refundable $400 registration deposit for Early Decision is January 15.



General Education Requirements

Certain general education courses are required of all students as prerequisite to the degrees inferred by the College. You’ll work closely with your academic advisor to select general education and other courses.

Undergraduate research, study abroad, and internships

PC students are required to have either an undergraduate research, study abroad, or internship experience prior to graduation. You'll find a myriad of opportunities in all three of these categories. The hardest part may be making a choice!

Cultural Enrichment Program

Presbyterian College students are required to attend twenty lecture events and twenty performance events to gain the broad and rich cultural experience expected of liberal arts graduates. You'll choose from lectures, concerts, recitals, dramatic productions, dance performances, films, and art exhibits.
