English Language Proficiency

International applicants whose native language is not English must demonstrate a firm command of the English language by scoring a minimum of 550 (WBT) 213(CBT) 80 (IBT) or higher (for specific graduate programs) on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), 6.5 on the ILTS or 58 on the PTE. No conditional admission is offered whereby a student may come to the college and spend a semester or year learning English.

Applicants are responsible for the payment of all tuition and fees at the time of registration. Hunter College does not provide financial assistance to international students; they must be in a position to finance tuition, fees, room and board, insurance, books and incidental expenses. The estimated cost is $42,615 for graduate level students and is subject to change. Hunter College does not make housing arrangements for students; it is essential that students be prepared to make their own housing arrangements, preferably before pre-departure or upon arrival.
