International students add a rich dimension to an institution’s intellectual climate and become an important component of the Dana student body. Qualified candidates are encouraged to apply for admission. English language competence is an essential prerequisite for good academic performance; applicants must present a Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score of 500 (or computer based score of 173) for entry into our regular program of studies or a TOEFL score of between 460 and 500 for entry into a combined program of both regular and English as a Second Language courses. Once a student achieves a 500 TOEFL score, he/she will be eligible to apply for admission into a regular program of study. Students must also submit all official academic transcripts from secondary (high school) and college or university studies.

Prior to acceptance, international applicants must show that they have sufficient financial resources to attend Dana College. All international students are required to furnish evidence of adequate health insurance coverage. Such evidence may be either a valid certificate of family coverage or a policy the student has purchased. A health plan covering illness, hospitalization and surgery is available to international students. Specific information regarding the policy is available in the Admissions Office or on the college’s web site.
