International Students
Admission procedures for international students are the same as those
for applicants from the United States, with the exception of two additional requirements.
Because instruction is given in English, prospective students with a native language other
than English are required to demonstrate proficiency in the English language. The Test of
English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), administered by the Educational Testing Service,
will be made part of the applicant’s file.
International students are also
reminded that in order to obtain their Certificate of Eligibility, Form I-20, they must
provide the financial aid office with a valid affidavit of support, from either personal
funds, family funds, or funds from another source (type/source specified). To comply with
this request, we ask that the applicant complete the College Board International Student
Certification of Finances. This form is available through the admissions office.
For information on dates and locations for the test, write:
