International students must submit all application materials required of freshman students. Additionally, international students must provide the following:
1. Proof of English Proficiency
International students whose native language is not English must provide proof of English proficiency by submitting official Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or International English Language Testing System (IELTS) scores.
To find out about test dates, test center locations and how to apply for the test, visit the TOEFL or IELTS website.
If you do not have English proficiency but would still like to be considered for admission at Manhattan College, you can apply to our Intensive English Language Program (IELP). In this program, you live on the Manhattan College campus and take English courses with other international students. Once you gain the required English proficiency, you can apply for admission and make a seamless transition into our undergraduate program.
2. Credit Evaluation
Any secondary school transcripts that you submit must be official and translated into English. You can request a course-by-course evaluation of credits through one of the following services:
World Education Services
Educational Credential Evaluators
Global Credential Evaluators
3. Financial Verification
We highly recommended that you also submit a letter of credit from a United States bank or a certified check from a financial institution in the amount of one academic year’s tuition and fees. This information is required so that an I-20 form can be issued once you are accepted. The I-20 form enables you to apply for an F-1 student visa at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
