How to Apply

To apply, each student must submit a letter of interest that presents a personal statement on his or her academic goals and intended major, along with a current resume, a copy of the original Lamar University application for undergraduate admission which was sent to the Office of Admissions, and three letters of recommendation (two of which must be from the applicant’s current teachers). Each application must also include documentation of SAT score (or ACT) and a copy of the student’s current high school transcript with class rank. If a student has already been awarded scholarships by Lamar University, this fact must be disclosed in the application.

Application Should be made no later than January 15. The university reserves the right to make early offers to exceptional candidates.

The required documents should be submitted directly to the Office of the Provost (Lamar University, Box 10002, Beaumont, TX 77710). All applications meeting the requirements will be sent to the dean of the college in which the applicant intends to major (or, in the case of undecided majors, to the executive director of the Center for General Studies).

The college deans will review applications and supporting materials and make recommendations to the provost, whose decisions are final. Evaluations by the college deans will include a personal interview and may also include assessment of specific skills as evidenced by video, film, audiotape, auditions, or student-submitted works.
