Applicants must also complete coursework from American Academy to fulfill the Navajo government and/or language requirement. Undergraduate students must be full-time; demonstrate completion of 24 semester college-level credit hours (or equivalent trimester or quarter credit hours) with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.
