Admission Requirements

Entry Requirements

The following items are required in order for international students to be considered for freshman or transfer admission to Otterbein University. Once all your application materials have been submitted, we can typically send you an application decision within 2-4 weeks.  Our application review is holistic, meaning it takes into consideration many factors such as your test scores, essay, and involvement outside of the classroom.

  • Common Application, including essay.

  • $50 Application fee.

  • Official transcripts/documents for four years of high school/secondary school (grades 9-12).

    • If mailed, transcripts must be in a sealed envelope, stamped by the school. Test results must be sent by the testing agency or directly from the high school to be considered official.

Upon acceptance you must send the following to intotterb@otterbein.edu:

  • Official Bank Statement(s) and Sponsor Guarantee form.

  • Copy of passport and current visa (if applicable).

Important Notes:

  • All test scores must be reported directly from the testing center.

  • Conditional admission is available to students that meet academic requirements, but still need additional language training to be successful in a U.S. classroom. Otterbein offers an English as a Second Language program on campus to help prepare students to become full-time degree seeking candidates.

  • Foreign language documents must be translated into English by the issuing institution, a certified translator or English teacher.

  • SAT and ACT test scores and letters of recommendation are optional and may be submitted if they strengthen your application.

English Requirements

  • 79 or higher on the Internet-based TOEFL(iBT).

  • 550 or higher on the paper-based TOEFL(PBT).

  • 53 or higher on the Pearson PTE

  • 6.5 or higher on the International English Language Testing System (IELTS).

  • 105 or higher on the Duolingo English Test.

  • 21 or higher on the English section of the ACT Test.

  • 550 or higher on the Evidence-based Reading and Writing (ERW) section on the SAT.

  • 112 Level Certificate from ELS.

Course Information

The Physics major provides a rigorous grounding in fundamental physics, fosters critical thinking and creative problem solving, and provides broad practical training in science and technology. It is designed to prepare you for advanced study in physics, engineering or other technical disciplines, for employment in industry, or for teaching at the secondary level. Physics graduates are in high demand in any area where analytical thinking and problem solving are important, and our students have also gone on to careers in computer programming, business, finance, law, and medicine.

All physics majors complete a core of courses covering the foundations of the discipline: classical mechanics, statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, electrodynamics, and quantum mechanics. Electives allow more specialized areas to be explored in greater detail, for example condensed matter physics, particle physics, optics, and general relativity. In the advanced and electronics laboratories, you have access to state-of-the-art instrumentation, and gain experience in experimental design and data analysis.

A distinctive feature of our program is the integration of numerical and computational methods for solving physical problems throughout the entire physics curriculum. Students get experience in programming, numerical analysis, and data visualization. These skills are vital for real-world scientists and engineers.

You are also encouraged to participate in research with a faculty member, which, depending on interests, may start as early as the freshman year. Such projects take you far beyond normal classroom and textbook work, engaging your curiosity, creativity, and collaboration. The value of these experiences, both for deepening understanding and for enhancing self-confidence and intellectual maturity, are tremendous.
