Admissions Requirements
In order to be considered for admissions, international undergraduate applicants should submit:
1. Application
2. Application fee of $60
3. Proof of English language proficiency
Non-native speakers of English are required to provide an evidence of English
proficiency by submitting one of the following:
- TOEFL score of minimum 550 (paper-based) or 213 (computer-based) or 80 (Internet- based). The school code for ECU is 5180.
- IELTS score of 6.0 or higher
- SAT I Critical Reading or ACT English scores
- Applicants who have completed at least 24 credit hours at a U.S. institution of higher education and received a grade of B or better for an academic English writing/composition course will be exempt from the English proficiency requirement.
4. Official Academic Records
- Applicants must present official (original) school records (transcripts) from all secondary and post-secondary schools previously attended. The records should show a list of classes taken, grades received, and any diplomas or certificates earned. Official records submitted to ECU become its property and will not be returned to the student or sent to another institution.
- Non-English transcripts, mark sheets, diplomas, and certificates must be officially translated. The translation should be literal, word-for-word and not interpretive. Both the original records and the official translation must be submitted.
- Copies certified by the school with an original ink stamp and sent directly from the school to East Carolina University are acceptable. A true copy authenticated by an embassy official, U.S. Educational Advising Centers or the Ministry of Education can also be submitted. We will not accept documents notarized by a notary public.
