International students (those who were educated outside of the U.S. and/or require an F1 visa) must take additional steps to be considered for admission.
English Language Proficiency
Students educated outside the United States must present proof of English proficiency. We accept TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo. The college requires a minimum TOEFL score of 80, a 6.5 IELTS, or 115 Duolingo score. However, the refugee and forced migration admission committee prefers TOEFL scores of at least 96. A minimum 7.0 on the IELTS or 125 on Duolingo may be submitted for this requirement.
Credential Evaluation
DePaul University requires that you submit your official educational credentials and evaluation fee to one of the following companies:
Evaluations from any other company will not be accepted. Please contact the evaluation company for information on payment and fees.
After receiving your credentials, the company you have chosen will submit their general evaluation directly to DePaul along with certified copies of the credentials you submitted for evaluation. These documents will be used for your admission review – please do not submit any educational credentials directly to DePaul University.
