to the field of bioethics. Foreign applicants whose previous
college work was completed in non-English speaking countries
are required to submit results of the Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL).
Admission of International Students
The admissions criteria for international students are the
same as for U.S. residents except for the following:
1. International students whose first language is not English
must demonstrate English proficiency by taking the Test of English
as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) exam and earning a minimum score
of 550. Some departments require higher scores.
2. To obtain a student visa, international students must submit
bank statements and other financial documents indicating sufficient
funds to support the tuition and living expenses for one academic
year.
3. For those students who are to receive financial aid from
the department, the amount of personal funds required will depend
on the amount of the aid award. In some cases, funds will be
required for living expenses; in other cases, more funds will
be required. When a letter of acceptance for an international
student has been issued, a copy is sent to the International
Students' Office, where the I20 is processed and sent to the
student. The student must then obtain a student visa in order
to begin study in the U.S. More detailed information can be
obtained from the International Students' Office and from the
"Student Affairs" section of the Bulletin.
