OFFICIAL STANDARDIZED TESTING: The Admissions Committee believes that standardized testing has an important place in selective college admissions decision-making, but we believe that students should have choices. Furman applicants can meet our standardized test requirement by submitting scores choosing fromone of the following options:

• SAT I,
• ACT (American College Testing) assessment test and optional writing test,
• two SAT II subject tests- one in English, one in Math,
• two AP (Advanced Placement) exams, one from English (Language and Composition or Literature and Composition) and one from Math (Calculus AB or Calculus BC),
• two IB (International Baccalaureate) exams, one in English Language (A1) and one in Mathematics, or
• the TOEFL exam (Test of English as a Foreign Language)

Applicants should request all test scores from the appropriate testing agency prior to the application deadlines. Candidates for admission who submit SAT and/or ACT scores must also submit a standardized writing score.

The Admissions Committee will select the scores that offer the student the greatest advantage in the admissions review process (meaning the highest score) if a student were to submit multiple test results.

Furman's school codes are 5222 for the SAT & TOEFL and 3858 for the ACT.
