International Students

All non-U.S. citizens applying to Stern College for Women, Sy Syms School of Business, or Yeshiva College should follow the same basic application requirements as US citizens.

In order for any application to be processed, the Office of Admissions must receive the following components:

• Completed application and essay
• $65 application fee in the form of a bank money order payable in U.S. dollars.
• High school transcript. Transcripts and copies of certificates qualifying the applicant for admission to university study must be officially translated into English (if not in English or Hebrew) and sent directly to the Office of Admissions.
• All students who are not native English speakers are required to take the TOEFL and achieve a score that reflects proficiency in English. Yeshiva University requires a minimum score of 563 or 225 on the computer-based test, to be submitted directly from testing service (code 2990).
• International students are also required to submit Math SAT scores but may substitute the TOEFL for the verbal section of the SATs if the following two criteria apply: 1) He or she is a citizen of a non-English speaking country, and 2) He or she has not resided in the United States for more than three years.

 All applicants must also have an interview with a YU Admissions officer, which applicants are required to schedule by calling the Admissions Office.
