Applications past the deadline will be accepted only as space is available.

To apply students should submit the following documents:

Most students who test below that level are required to take some courses in the Intensive English Program. Often students choose to take Intensive English courses even with scores above those levels because they want to be sure to have a strong foundation in English.
  5. An Essay written by the student - The essay topic can be found in the application form.
  6. A letter of recommendation from a teacher or school official
  7. Proof of Financial Support
