Updated on March 08, 2018As part of the school's application, students must submit scores from the ACT exam. With an acceptance rate of 94%, Bemidji State is not a highly selective school--students with good grades and test scores have a pretty decent chance of being accepted to the school. Along with an application form and test scores, students must submit a high school transcript and an application fee. There is no essay or personal statement requirement as part of the application process. Since Bemidji has rolling admissions, students can apply to start either in the spring or fall semesters.
Located on 89 acres on the shore of Lake Bemidji in northern Minnesota, Bemidji State University is a public university that offers associate, bachelor's and master's degree programs.
