International applicants
In addition to the application for admission, the following are required:

- Results of the SAT or ACT
- Results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), unless the student has attended a school in which the language of instruction is English for at least one year
- Declaration and Certification of Finances form
- For students being sponsored by agencies, companies, or other organizations, an affidavit of support, signed by an appropriate official, is required
Since the application process for international students requires more time than that for other applicants, applications should be filed early in the year.
