In addition to meeting the requirements
outlined in the Admission Procedures,
international applicants must meet the following requirements:
- Submit proof of ability to meet the financial
requirements while in attendance at Dallas Baptist University;
- English Requirements: Select one of the
following: (A) Official TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign
Language) score results must be submitted for the applicant
to be considered for admission: a paper test score of 550,
or a computer-based test score of 213 must be attained on
the TOEFL, or (B) Students may complete the Intensive English
Program at DBU to satisfy English requirements, thus no
TOEFL would be required, or (C) The TOEFL may be waived
at the discretion of the program director if four semesters
of full-time academic work with a GPA of 3.0 or higher have
been completed at other regionally accredited institutions
in the United States. International students may be interviewed
and tested by DBU staff to determine their ability to communicate
effectively in English.
- An international applicant who holds an
F-1 student visa is required to carry a full course of study
in the fall and spring semesters. According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement regulations, a full-time load
for a graduate student is nine hours. By choice, students
may elect to take more hours.
- Official transcripts must be provided.
A translation of international transcript(s) to the U.S.
system of grading by a recognized credential evaluation
service in the U.S. may be necessary.
International students who meet
all admission requirements will be eligible for full admission
to the University. All others who are approved for admission
will be granted provisionary admission until these requirements
have been met and 12-credit-hours of graduate courses have
been successfully completed. DBU does not issue I-20s for
distance learning courses.
Dallas Baptist University understands the unique characteristics of international education and recognizes the diverse background and qualifications of our prospective students. In circumstances where an applicant has received a three-year bachelor's degree from a government recognized non-US institution, DBU will consider the three-year bachelor's degree as sufficient to meet the undergraduate degree requirement needed for application to graduate programs.
