Admissions Requirements for International Students

Kansas Wesleyan University accepts international students on a regular basis. This is done to provide a genuinely cross-cultural educational experience for both international and domestic student populations. Kansas Wesleyan’s goal is to secure intelligent and outgoing students who desire an educational experience in the United States. While deserving respect for their own cultural backgrounds, international students must also be willing to absorb and participate in national and local cultures of the United States. While being respected as an individual, the international student must understand that he or she will be treated as an equal to all other students with regard to academic and social policies. KWU is authorized by law to enroll non-immigrant-alien students. An International student will be considered for admission to the University when his/her file is complete with the following credentials by June 1 for the fall semester or November 1 for the spring semester. A completed international application for admission. A non-refundable U.S. $30 application fee. An official transcript from a four-year high school or its equivalent. NOTE: It may be necessary, particularly if a transcript is not in English, for the applicant to send the transcript to a credentials evaluation agency for evaluation at the expense of the applicant. A copy of the results must be sent to the KWU Office of Admission. An official transcript from all colleges or universities attended in English. Official TOEFL scores or ASPECT ESL Proficiency Course (Test of English as a Foreign Language) if English in not considered your primary language.

Three letters of recommendation from previous instructors. An official bank letter demonstrating the applicants ability to pay.

International students from countries where English is considered the primary language must meet the regular admission requirements.
