International Students

In addition to the regular admission requirements, international applicants must satisfy the special requirements for students whose native language is not English. These requirements include the following:
- A minimum score of 525 on the paper version; 195 on the computer version; or a 70 on the internet version is required on the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language)
- Successful completion of a program in English as a Foreign Language or English Composition I, taken at any accredited institution of higher learning, may be accepted in lieu of the TOEFL. The grade attained should be at least 85%. The TOEFL may be taken at Prometric Testing Center. For more information, call (615) 860-0376 or (800) 967-1100.
- Official proof of the ability to pay will be required.
- All credentials must be in English. If credentials require translation, a certified translator must do this. Translation information may be obtained from the Office of Admissions.
- International students who have not completed a minimum of remedial math or English on the college level will be required to take placement tests in English and/or math. Placement in English and math courses will be based on the results of each of the placement tests. The Office of Admissions will set the date and time for completing this requirement. At this time all the required legal papers may be submitted.
