International applicants: TOEFL score of 550 (paper-based) or 213 (computer-based) is required for all foreign applicants, to include writing test (TWE) with a minimum score of Level 5. (TSE with minimum score of 55 required for MPT and MPA only.)

While we will consider international applicants, it may be helpful for you to know that we have never been able to accept an international student due to problems with transferability of professional licensure that is a requirement for entry into our program.

All foreign transcripts, including high school, must be submitted to an approved evaluation service. There are two approved services. Information for international students (PDF). Results of the evaluation are sent to LLU directly from the evaluation center. Official foreign transcripts must also be sent directly to us from school to school at time of application.
