International Students

International applicants who have completed a baccalaureate degree at a college or university outside of the United States are required to produce minimum scores for the TOEFL test of 550 on the paper-based test (79-80 on the internet-based test or 213 or more on the computer-based test). Prospective students may submit IELTS scores (with a score of 6.0 or better) in place of TOEFL scores. International students are required to provide evidence of immunization (measles, mumps, rubella), as well as evidence of the ability to provide medical insurance coverage during their proposed stay in the United States.

Further, such applicants are required to submit all application materials, including transcripts, diplomas, certificates, etc., translated into English. Such applicants must arrange with World Education Services to have a document-by-document review of their educational credentials, which includes a course-by-course evaluation. World Education Services must confirm that the applicant’s undergraduate experience is the equivalent of four years of undergraduate study at an accredited U.S. college or university, culminating in the bachelor’s degree.
