SAT Requirements
CSUEB requires all applicants to submit either the SAT or ACT scores. While the SAT is more common, ACT scores are accepted as equivalent. The university does not require a minimum score, but competitive applicants typically score above 1100 on the SAT or 22 on the ACT composite.
Submitting SAT or ACT scores is a crucial step in the CSUEB application process. SAT scores are available on the new 1600-scale, while ACT scores range from 1 to 36. For SAT, the average score for admitted students is 1100, with a range from 950 to 1300. For ACT, the average composite score is 22, with a range from 20 to 30.
