Demonstrated proficiency of the English language is required for all international applicants whose sole and official language is not English and who have not studied full-time for one uninterrupted academic year at a university-level institution in which English is the language of instruction
-
​Submit an official bank statement or current financial letter of support (within the last 6 months) showing the ability to finance the estimated cost of attendance for one year

Upon receipt, you will be sent an acknowledgement via email by your Director of Undergraduate Admissions & Student Support. After admission to the program, you will be issued a Form I-20 (Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant (F-1) Student Status – For Academic and Language Students). Next steps, additional information, further requests (if applicable) and initial admission decisions will be shared via email.

Admitted international students should also make arrangements for their International Check-In, which will be scheduled with you via email.
