Application Requirements

Viterbo University welcomes motivated students who are ready to learn, grow and make an impact.

Test-Optional Admission

Your potential is more than a test score. Viterbo is test-optional for undergraduate admission, so you do not need an ACT or SAT score to be considered for admission.

If you choose to take the ACT or SAT, we encourage you to send your scores to Viterbo using the free score submission option when you register for the exam. Submitting your scores may also open the door to additional scholarship and financial aid opportunities.
