International Students

GSBIS welcomes applications from international students. We are authorized by the US Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services to issue SEVIS I-20s and accept F-1 students.

For more information on admissions, please contact the admissions office at gradbus@dom.edu,

For more information and assistance on immigration and visa matters, please contact Sue Ponremy, International Student Advisor, at sponremy@dom.edu.

In addition to meeting the general requirements for admission, applicants who were educated outside of the United States and/or students requiring a visa (F-1) and I-20 form must demonstrate English language proficiency by scoring 560 or better on the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). They must also show evidence of adequate financial support to qualify for a visa.

In addition to the tuition and fees charged at Dominican University, there are additional expenses for international students:

Housing costs (whether room and board in university residence halls or off-campus housing) are the student's responsibility.
Medical insurance must be obtained from an insurance agency, either in the home country or in the US. Such insurance may be purchased through the university.
All fees, books and personal items are the students' responsibility during their education, including periods when the university is not in session.
Dominican University will assume no liability for any expense incurred by international students.

For information on studying English as a Second Language, please contact ELS located on Dominican University's campus at chi@els.edu.
