Admission Requirements & Deadlines
We invite international students who will complete secondary school to apply to Augustana College. Transfer students and non-degree (study abroad) students may also apply. Admission is granted to those who have excellent academic promise and a score of at least 550 on the TOEFL exam or equivalent scores on the IELTS or EIKEN exams.
Augustana operates on a "rolling" admission process, meaning that we will evaluate your application file and make an admission decision as soon as it is complete. There is no fee to apply. There are no fixed deadlines for admission, but students who apply early will have an advantage in terms of scholarships, securing an American roommate, choosing their classes, as well as plenty of time to secure a visa in their home country. We accept applications up to a year in advance of the term you are planning to enroll and recommend that you complete the application process below no later than two months in advance.
To be considered for both admission and scholarships, please send the following to Augustana College:
1. Completed Application for Admission and Scholarships for international students.
2. All secondary and post-secondary transcripts.
3. One reference (.pdf)
4. One Essay (minimum of 250 words, in English, on any topic. The essay may be something already completed for class or something new for this purpose).
5.. English Language Test Scores from one or more of the following tests: TOEFL (Augustana's Institutional Code is 6015), IELTS or EIKEN.
6. Financial Statement.
