All applicants must show proof of health insurance coverage. Applicants who do not yet have health insurance may purchase it through VIU at a reasonable cost. As an integral part of the admission process, on-campus interviews are strongly encouraged for all applicants. If you are unable to arrange a personal interview, you must make alternate arrangements, such as a telephone interview. All interviews are by appointment only.
Applicants residing outside the United States are exempt from the interview requirement.
However, we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you in person and strongly encourage you to visit the university prior to your enrollment. All International students willing to pursue a graduate program are required to fulfill the same conditions mentioned in both Visa and Undergraduate International students admissions requirements.
