  • University Transcripts: Submit official community college or university transcripts from all previously attended institutions. Provide course syllabi or descriptions for every university course.

  • Credential Evaluation: Transcripts from institutions outside the United States must undergo a course-by-course evaluation conducted by an independent credential evaluation agency. These agencies must be members of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES). Students attending U.S. schools abroad or international schools following a U.S. curriculum abroad do not need to submit a credential evaluation; other exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis.

  • A High School Applicant who attended all or part of high school in a country where English is not the official language.

  • A Transfer Applicant who attended university in a country where English is not the official language, or you completed less than 24 credits at a university where English is the official language.

Proof of English Language Proficiency can be demonstrated with one of the following tests or successful completion of ELS Level 112.

  • TOEFL: 79 iBT with consistent subsection scores

  • IELTS: 6.5 with consistent subsection scores

  • SAT: 500 evidence-based reading and writing score

  • ACT: 19 composite score with consistent subsection scores

We accept self-reported ACT or SAT scores. We do not accept self-reported TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo English Test scores.
