Elite provides international students, parents, and consultants with a thorough support system. Guidance and support is available to international students from faculty members, advisors, and dorm parents. Students receive academic support through our ESL Program, TOEFL & SAT prep, and individualized academic assistance through our Academic Support Program.
The admissions process is the same for international and domestic students. However, students whose first language is not English are expected to take the TOEFL exam or the iTEP exam in addition to the other required tests. During the application process, most of our international applicants visit our campus for their required interview and tour. However, if a visit to campus is not possible, it is possible that a member of our Admission Team can interview in your home area. Skype Interviews are a third possible option for completing your interview requirement. We offer Skype interviews on specific dates.
