Northwestern Health Sciences University welcomes the diversity
that international students bring to the University community.
The University is a non-residential campus. Therefore, no
housing is available to students, foreign or otherwise. Individuals
in F-1 student status are not eligible to seek employment
off campus. All classes at Northwestern are taught in English.
A student may verify competency in English as follows:
- Students from non-U.S. 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 Office
of Admissions.;
- All other foreign applicants (including those from the
Canadian province of Quebec) must complete a TOEFL (Test
of English as a Foreign Language) examination. Applicants
completing the paper-based examination must earn a score
of 540 or higher. Applicants completing the computer-based
examination must earn a score of 207 or higher. Results
of the TOEFL must be sent directly to Northwestern from
the testing agency. TOEFL information can be obtained online
at www.toefl.org or from: TOEFL, P.O. Box 6151, Princeton,
NJ 08541-6151, U.S.A.
International applicants must provide evidence of having
financial resources to complete a minimum of one year of education.
An official bank statement indicating sufficient funds is
required.
International transcripts must be 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 Office of Admissions for
a WES application form or names of other accepted transcript
evaluation services. |
