1. Have the endorsement of the chiropractic organization in his or her home country (if such an organization exists).
2. All classes at Northwestern are taught in English. A student may verify competency in English in the following manner:
   1. Students from English-speaking countries (excluding the Canadian province of Quebec) may include with their application a copy of their birth certificate. Or, these applicants may complete an English competency verification form which can be obtained from the Admissions Office. We reserve the right to request proof of English proficiency of any applicant.
   2. All other foreign applicants (including students from the Canadian province of Quebec) must complete a TOEFL exam with a score of 540 or higher (written test) or 207 or higher (computer test). Results of the TOEFL must be sent directly to Northwestern from the testing agency. TOEFL information can be obtained from: TOEFL, P.O. Box 6154, Princeton, NJ 08541-6154, USA
3. Provide evidence of having financial resources to complete a minimum of one year of education. Official bank statement indicating sufficient funds is required.
4. Have foreign transcripts evaluated by an international transcript evaluation service such as World Education Services, Inc. (Bowling Green Station, PO Box 5087, New York, NY 10274, phone: 212-966-6311) with official copies of the course-by-course evaluation being forwarded directly to both Northwestern and the student. Contact the Admissions Office for a WES application form or names of other accepted transcript evaluation services.

We recommend that all foreign students be aware of the licensure requirements in the country in which they wish to practice. A student can contact the chiropractic licensing board in their province or country for that information.
