Valley City State University Admissions

Valley City State University operates with an open admission policy, accepting 83% of applicants. This means most students who apply and meet basic requirements will gain admission. The middle 50% of accepted students score between 1030-1110 on the SAT or around 20 on the ACT, though these scores reflect typical admits rather than strict cutoffs. The university seeks students interested in education, technology, or small-town college life. With its strong teacher preparation programs and emphasis on hands-on learning, VCSU looks for applicants who value close faculty relationships and want to make an impact in rural communities. The school particularly welcomes first-generation college students and those seeking affordable public education.
