Claflin University Admissions

Claflin University has a 78% acceptance rate, making it less selective than many four-year institutions. This means most students who apply and meet basic requirements can expect admission. The university takes a well-rounded approach to admissions, looking beyond test scores to find students who will thrive in their close-knit community of 1,727 students. With 73.6% of students being women and strong United Methodist values dating back to 1869, Claflin seeks students committed to academic growth and community service. The school particularly values students interested in liberal arts and sciences who want the support of a 13:1 student-faculty ratio at a historically black institution.
