The fieldwork courses demand use of idiomatic English from the beginning of the period of study. Applicants whose mother tongue is not English are required to take an English language proficiency examination. The results of the test will be sent to the University by the Testing Service. Applications will not be given final consideration until the results of the test have been received. All applicants are required to pay an application fee of seventy United States dollars, by bank draft or postal money order.
Personal checks are acceptable only if written on a United States bank.
This fee is an official requirement for admission, and foreign governments will approve the release of funds for this purpose. Academic credentials, including courses taken, grades received, and degrees granted, should be sent directly to the School with the application. If this is not possible, copies in the applicant's possession may be acceptable if they have been certified by the proper school authorities. Applicants may not validate their own documents. The class or division of the degree must be stated if this is the customary method of reporting the quality of academic work.
