I suppose a University has the right to accept or deny applicants based on what they have learned or not learned.
A prospective student should know and understand the Theory of Evolution, but at the same time, should know other proposed theories, such as Creationism. For that matter, they should know any other theories that are pertinant to those two, if they are relative to their chosen discipline. IMO, a University has the right to reject a student that only knows one of the two theories, but does not have the right to reject a student if they have learned both theories.

I guess I would.
Just because a theory is widely accepted, doesnt mean it is a fact. It must be proven correct to be a fact; neither Evolution or Creationism is proven to be correct at this point. In fact, that is the point of science, to prove and disprove theories, whether they are widely accepted or not.
