In addition to following the standard admission steps as a freshman or transfer applicant, you should be aware of the following requirements.

Academic Credentials

To be considered for admission, you must complete a program of study that qualifies you for admission to selective universities in your own country.

Required Military Service

If you’re from a country that requires military service upon completion of secondary education, you shouldn't apply until this obligation has been met. We won't delay admission in this case.

Required Documents by Country

We require certain documents depending on where you're from. Transfer applicants need to send these to us when they apply. Freshmen should wait until after they're admitted.

If You're Admitted

As an admitted international student, you'll also have to take additional steps in order to enroll. While you don't need to do any of these things right now, we thought you might want to take note!
