Application Requirements

In addition to the general graduate application requirements (online application, letters of recommendation, personal statement, etc.), international applicants must submit the following:

Evidence of English Language Proficiency (ELP).

            Options include:

          • TOEFL iBT (minimum score of 80)
          • IELTS (minimum score of 6.5)
          • Duolingo English Test (minimum score of 105)
          • Completion of an English Language Service (ELS) program (level 112; Intensive English for Academic Purposes)

           The Graduate School will waive the ELP requirement for international applicants who:

          • Graduated from a U.S. Institution with a bachelor's or master's degree. Applicants must provide an official transcript showing that a U.S. degree has been awarded.
          • Are citizens of one of the following countries.

Official Course-by-Course Evaluated Transcripts.

We require official course-by-course evaluations from any member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services as part of the application process. Evaluations must be sent to GradAdmissions@wcupa.edu from the NACES organization. Unofficial copies from the student or sent from the school will not be accepted. Degrees must meet United States degree equivalency standards.
