Entry requirements

Typically, applicants are expected to have completed high school coursework in subjects such as chemistry, biology, mathematics, and physics. A strong academic record with a high GPA is generally required. Additional materials, such as letters of recommendation, personal statements, and standardized test scores (if applicable), may also be considered during the admissions process.

English:

Applicants whose primary language is not English are often required to demonstrate proficiency through standardized tests like TOEFL or IELTS. A minimum TOEFL score of around 80 (internet-based) or an IELTS score of 6.5 is commonly expected, but specifics should be confirmed on the university's official site.

International students:

International students must obtain an F-1 visa to study in the U.S. This process generally involves receiving an I-20 form from Stevens after admission, which confirms eligibility to apply for the visa. Students must also be familiar with SEVIS regulations, which track their status while studying in the United States.
