Admission Requirements
International Undergraduate Admission Requirements and Required Documents
Application for admission to TBUGLEXUSA is based on certificates earned outside the United States and will be considered on their merits. In general, international applicants must meet the minimum requirements for admission to a university in the country in which they completed secondary school, and they must also satisfy the academic requirements of the faculty or school to which they are seeking admission.
Official documents must be submitted to confirm any offer of admission. Final official transcripts must be sent directly by the high school, the degree granting institution or the examination authority, or by the applicant where the transcript remains in a sealed institutional envelope. English language proficiency test scores must come from the examination authority.
All documents become the property of Triune Biblical University Global Extension, USA. Students in their final year of secondary school must include a letter from a Principal or designate confirming that graduation will be completed before the start of the academic session. Transcripts not issued in English must be translated by a certified translator, with a note confirming the documents were received in a sealed envelope. The original and the certified translation must be sent to the Admissions Office.
English Proficiency Requirements
International students whose mother tongue is not English must submit evidence of proficiency acceptable to the university or faculty. Proficiency results older than two years are not accepted.
