College Admissions Requirements - SAT Subject Tests

This table is meant to provide information on the testing requirements for every major college and university that requires, recommends, or considers the SAT Subject Tests as part of the admissions process. Additional schools or information can be submitted to Compass. The outlined policies are for U.S. students graduating from accredited high schools applying as freshmen in the class of 2007 or beyond. The requirements for international students, home schooled students, and transfer students often vary.

More information for parents and students.

More information for college counselors and college admissions officers.

We believe that this is the most comprehensive and up-to-date list available, but no list can replace the nuances of a school's specific policy. Please visit the school website (see links below) or call the admissions office for the most accurate information.
