ATU's own pages never use the literal phrase 'test optional'; classification is inferred from a sliding-scale structure where a 3.0+ GPA admits without any test score.

Data sourced from IPEDS, College Scorecard, for the record as a whole — figures marked with a star are sourced separately, as noted at the bottom of the page. Deadlines checked against the college's own pages on Oct 18, 2026.

Estimate what your family would pay

Every school is required to publish a net price calculator. It asks about your family's finances and returns an estimate for you specifically, which is worth more than any average on this page. Your school counselor and the college's financial aid office can also help.

Scholarships and merit aid

We don't have a confirmed note on merit scholarships at this school. Check its financial aid pages rather than assuming either way.
