If you are a prospective international student who wishes to apply to a WSC Masters degree program, the following steps are designed to guide you through the application process. Due to the time required to receive and process international application documents, the WSC Office of Admissions strongly encourages you to begin this process at least a year in advance of when you desire to begin studies.
Step 1: BEGIN the WSC Application for Admission
Step 2: REGISTER FOR VIRTUAL SEMINARY FOR A DAY
Step 3: SUBMIT THE APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION
This includes your references, transcript(s), and online application.
An official transcript is needed from each post-secondary institution from which you have received credit; transcripts must be in English.
Step 4: Submit TOEFL Scores
TOEFL: If your native language is something other than English, you are required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), which also includes the Test of Written English (TWE), as part of your application.
Please be sure to request that test results be sent directly to Westminster Seminary California. Our school code is 4980
TOEFL (Internet-Based) Score Requirements: Minimum overall score 88 on TOEFL, 25 on Writing portion
U.S. UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS: If you are an international student who has completed an undergraduate degree in the U.S. or in an English-speaking country with a minimum 2.7 GPA, you are eligible to be exempt from the TOEFL requirement.
Step 5: APPLY FOR HOUSING & Financial Aid
Now that you've been admitted (hooray!), it's time to apply for On-Campus Housing and Financial Aid. These forms will also be included with your admittance notification email.
Step 6: Apply for Certificate of Eligibility (I-20) and F-1 Visa
Upon admission, our Senior Enrollment Specialist will reach out about your next steps. You can also learn more about the F-1 Visa and Visa Application Process on our website.
