We gladly welcome applications from international students, and hope that our international students will help to form strong ministry relationships around the world! We offer a generous scholarship to all International Students: a 50% discount of tuition, meal plan, and dorm room!
First, you must seek general admission to the college. Then you must fulfill requirements for your Form I-20, “Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant (F-1) Student Status – For Academic and Language Students.” You should begin working on both steps as soon as possible– at least 3 months before the beginning of the fall semester. To learn more about the rules and costs for international students, read the International Admissions Policy.
