Visas

In many countries, visas will not be issued without proof of adequate proficiency in English, such as a satisfactory TOEFL and/or GRE verbal score (see Required Tests). To obtain a visa for study in the United States, international students must present the Certificate of Eligibility (I-20 or DS-2019) at a U.S. consulate or embassy and demonstrate full proof of ability to pay all tuition and living expenses for the first year of study.

Note: University fellowships and stipends may not cover all expenses; students may need additional funds.

Certificate of Eligibility

International Services Office will issue the I-20 or DS-2019 after a student has accepted the offer and demonstrated proof of his/her ability to pay all expenses for at least the first year of study.
