What are the admissions requirements?
International students must meet the same admission requirements as U.S. citizens. Transcripts and/or certificates of completed post-secondary credits with notarized translation are requested if the student seeks transfer of previously earned credit to the school. All documents should be accompanied by a certified English translation. Transcripts for international students seeking transfer of credit will need to be evaluated by an approved foreign credential evaluator. An affidavit of financial support must be submitted and then a Form 1-20 (Immigration Certificate of Acceptance) will be provided to the applicant. The school is authorized under federal law to enroll nonimmigrant students. Detailed information will be provided through our Admissions office.
