Procedure for Admission of International Students
International applicants who have completed a baccalaureate degree at a college or university outside of the United States are required to produce minimum scores for the TOEFL test of 550 on the paper-based test, 79-80 on the internet-based test, or 213 on the computer-based test. Prospective students may submit IELTS scores in place of TOEFL scores. A score of 6.0 or better is required on the IELTS test for admission. Additionally, international students are required to provide evidence of immunization against measles, mumps, and rubella as well as evidence of the ability to provide medical insurance coverage during their proposed stay in the United States. Such applicants must arrange with World Education Services to have a document-by-document review of their education credentials, which includes a course-by-course evaluation. World Education Services must confirm that the applicant's undergraduate experience is the equivalent of four years of undergraduate study at an accredited United States college or university, culminating in the bachelor's degree. Finally, international students are required to certify that sufficient funds to support their academic and personal living expenses are available during their stay in the United States.
International graduate students are eligible to seek admission to study full-time at Holy Family University under the Exchange Visitor Program sponsored by the United States Department of State whereby eligible foreign nationals can be sponsored for a J-1 Visa by Holy Family University. International graduate degree students applying for Exchange Visitor Program J-1 Visa option must meet the required admission standards described herein for the graduate degree program of interest.
