Admission Requirements

To apply for admission to LeTourneau University's PACT program, students must submit the following:

A completed application for admission to the program (also available at the Educational Center Office). Completed applications and assessment records are valid for one year. Following one year, the student will need to submit an updated application.
Official transcripts of all college level work sent directly from the institution to the Educational Center where the student will enroll. All applicants must provide official transcripts of all undergraduate degrees and any postgraduate work attempted or completed at regionally accredited colleges or universities. Failure to provide a complete record of the above academic work may result in the student not being accepted into the university, or if already enrolled, being withdrawn from the university.

These applicants must meet the proficiency requirements established by LeTourneau University for reading, writing, and mathematics by taking the TASP(THEA) test in these three areas.

Transcripts, however, must be evaluated course by course by either Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE), World Education Services, Inc.
