International Students

Dominican University 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.

International students applying to Dominican University must have completed the equivalent of a United States high school education and are responsible for having the following documents sent to Dominican.

  • The completed university international student application form and a non-refundable $100 application fee.
  • Official transcripts from secondary schools and colleges or universities of degrees, diplomas or certificates, and credentials must be sent to the admissions office. Transcripts must be translated and evaluated.
  • Demonstration of proficiency in English with a score of 550 on the paper based TOEFL, or 213 on the computer based TOEFL, or a minimum IBT score of 79-80, or by successfully completing Level 112 in the ELS program. ELS has a center on the Dominican University campus.

There are additional expenses for international students:

  • Medical insurance must be obtained from an insurance agency.
  • The students should be prepared to meet expenses for fees, books, personal items, and for periods when the college is not in session.

“As a student I wanted an intimate community. As an aspiring journalist I wanted a big city. Dominican gave me both—and so much more.”
