International Students

International applicants must submit proof of English language proficiency through one of the following exams:

• TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language):  Recommended score of 90 with no sub-score below 20
• IELTS (International English Language Testing System): Recommended score of 7.0 with no band below 6.5
• Duolingo English Test: Recommended score of 125
• PTE (Pearson’s Test of English): Recommended score of 61

WPI Undergraduate Admissions will also consider Initialview or Vericant interviews if submitted. These interviews are optional and serve as a supplement to one of the exams mentioned above, but alone they do not satisfy our English proficiency requirement.

Citizens of an English speaking country who attended an English speaking high school for four years may be exempt. Contact the Office of Admissions for more details. 

If you do not apply for financial aid and enroll at WPI, you must submit the WPI International Certification of Finances (www.wpi.edu/+cof) form.

International first-year students applying for financial aid must submit the CSS PROFILE application by the admissions deadline. You must show a minimum family contribution of $22,000 per year to cover all living and travel expenses. Learn more on financing your education.

International transfer applicants are not eligible for financial aid and must show the ability to cover the full cost of tuition and living expenses.

International students transferring from a university or other institution of higher education should follow the transfer application process.
