Entry requirement for international students
Students must have a secondary or higher education from an accredited high school, or the equivalent. The better their secondary higher education school records are, the better the chance that they will secure admission. Applicants must make all appropriate arrangements for providing official academic records attesting to their secondary and post-secondary education. Applicants who have attempted at least 30 semester hours (or 45 quarter hours) of college-level transfer credit (either from the U.S. or abroad) are not required to provide secondary school records. Credentials not available in English must be submitted with an original, attested, and professionally prepared English language translation. University-level academic work will be considered for transfer of credit. Course descriptions are helpful to determine appropriate transfer credit. The official score must be sent directly to SIUE by the testing service. (SIUE’s institutional code is 1759, and the department code is 00). The minimum acceptable score for the paper-based test is 550. The minimum acceptable score for the computer-based score is 213. The minimum acceptable score for the Internet-based test is 80. The minimum acceptable IELTS score is 6.5 overall bands. Admission to the traditional Bachelor of Science option is competitive. Applicants must present at least a 2.5 cumulative GPA and a 2.7 prerequisite course (both on a 4.0 scale). Meeting the minimum GPAs does not guarantee admission.
