Cottey College welcomes applications from prospective international students and encourages international applicants to communicate with the Office of Enrollment Management at least nine months in advance of their proposed entrance. There is a limited amount of financial aid available for international students, so if financial aid is needed, this fact should be made clear in initial correspondence. International applicants may be asked to submit the following:
- Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), International English Language Testing System (IELTS), or Duolingo scores, if one’s first language is not English. Cottey College requires overall TOEFL score of 68 (17 on all sub scores), IELTS of 5.5 or above, and Duolingo score of 95 or above.
- Certified records of external examinations, when applicable.
- Post-secondary transcripts from foreign institutions must have an evaluation from an approved National Association of Credential Evaluation Services member (NACES) or from InCRED. U.S. university transcripts must be sent directly from the institution to Cottey College.
