Admissions Overview
Mount St. Joseph University is moderately selective with a 54% acceptance rate. This means roughly half of applicants gain admission, making it accessible but not guaranteed. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 1068-1233 on the SAT or around 24 on the ACT. These scores reflect the university's practical approach to admissions rather than extreme academic pressure. The Sisters of Charity founded this Catholic institution to serve students seeking purpose-driven education. Mount St. Joseph looks for students who value community service, faith integration, and hands-on learning in fields like nursing and education. The 9:1 student-faculty ratio attracts those wanting personal attention from professors.
