Apply Now! 

International Applicants need to apply early and allow plenty of time. When you mail your application materials, they may take several days or a few weeks to reach us. We may have to wait for your official Duolingo English Test, TOEFL, IELTS, or other required test scores to arrive. If you are admitted, it will take a few days or weeks for your I-20 Form to reach you by mail. Then you will have to make an appointment for a visa interview at a U.S. Embassy or consulate, which may not be available immediately.

Please send the following to complete your admissions file:

• Passport
• Financial Affidavit
•  Must hold a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) from a regionally accredited college or university.
• An official transcript from each college/university attended.
• $50 non-refundable fee: https://form.jotform.com/233174213688156.

• The Graduate College will forward your application packet to the appropriate department to review once your file is complete. A decision letter will be emailed once the review process has been completed.

Test of English as a Foreign Language:
Students whose native language is not English must demonstrate that their English language skills are sufficient for them to undertake advanced academic work in an English-speaking institution. To show English proficiency, an applicant must provide scores for the Duolingo English Test, TOEFL, or IELTS. Hampton University requires the following minimum test scores: Duolingo English Test < 120; TOEFL iBT  < 87; TOEFL PBT < 525; TOEFL CBT < 194;  IELTS Academic < 6.5; MCAT Verbal < 6.5 & N on essay; DAT Reading Comprehension < 13).

Financial Resources: Applicants who expect to hold an F-1 visa will need an I-20 Form. Evidence that a student will have sufficient funds available for the first academic year must be provided to issue this form. Typically, these funds come from a teaching or research assistantship, a scholarship, or personal/family sources. A completed and properly notarized Financial Affidavit must be provided to the Graduate College by the individual providing the support. Hampton University also requires a photocopy of bank statements that document availability of funds when personal/family support is used.

Notes:

• Students admitted as Special/Non-degree status are not eligible for an I-20.
