International Applicants for a Post-Graduate Program
International students should follow admission procedures for the program to which they are applying. In addition, international applicants must also:
- Submit a financial statement (bank statement or financial certification from employer) verifying that you have sufficient financial resources to provide for academic and personal expenses while attending Saint Michael's College. A form is included as part of the Application for Graduate Admission and should accompany the bank statement.
- Submit a photocopy of your passport page showing the correct spelling of your name and the date of birth. (I-20’s cannot be prepared without this and your financial statement.)
- Enter the US on a student visa (F-1), if not a US citizen or resident. You need to fill out an Immigration Form.
NOTE: We require English language translations of foreign transcripts by the issuing institution. We reserve the right to request an applicant to submit evaluation(s) of official transcript(s) by an approved outside agency that verifies the attainment of the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree if needed.
- Submit verification of one of the following minimum test scores (for applicants whose native language is not English):
TEST MINIMUM SCORES:
TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language): 550 (213 on the computer-based test; 79 on Internet-based test)
IELTS (International English Language Testing System): 6.0-6.5
MELAB (Michigan English Language Assessment Battery): 77-82
CAE (Certificate in Advanced English) /CPE (Certificate of Proficiency in English): C
APIEL (Advanced Placement International English Language): 3
CONDITIONAL ADMITTANCE to the MATESOL
If your English is not strong enough to embark on a full-time Master's Program in TESOL, but your other application documentation is acceptable, Saint Michael’s may offer you conditional admittance into its MATESOL program. This means you may complete our Intensive English courses before transferring to the Master's Program.
