Individual Considerations

Since individual backgrounds vary greatly, applicants are assessed on a case-by-case basis. The Admissions Counselor meets with each applicant to determine whether the applicant possesses the necessary motivation and ability to benefit from the proposed program of study and to verify that all admissions requirements have been met.

Certified Documents

Any foreign document containing a language other than English must be submitted with a full English translation certifying that the translation is complete and accurate, and that the translator is competent to translate.

Due to our modest size and based on the fact that our international students represent a very wide range of countries, we do not have an onsite or contracted interpreter/translator to assist with the enrollment process for international students. However, our admissions staff are bilingual in English and Korean, and we are fully able to assist our students from Korea. For students from all other countries, we advise students to come with a friend, family member, or other acquaintance who is fluent in English and is able to provide interpretation during the admission consultation and enrollment process.
