International students and all students whose first language is not English must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and submit their score to the Graduate Services Office before a decision on their application can be made. Arrangements for this test can be made online: www.toefl.org. TOEFL scores are valid for two years. If there is a question about the applicant’s skill in spoken English after receiving a TOEFL score, he/she may be required to have an oral interview. If it is necessary to conduct the oral interview by phone, it will be at the applicant’s expense.

International transcripts must be evaluated by a National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES)-accredited and School of Education and Counseling Psychology approved service to show U.S. bachelor’s degree equivalency, course-by-course evaluation, and final cumulative grade point average. A list of approved agencies is available online: http://www.scu.edu/ecppm/studentservices/International-Students.cfm
