International applicants use the same application as domestic students and show English proficiency through accepted tests such as the TOEFL iBT, IELTS, Duolingo English Test or PTE Academic, or through qualifying prior study in English. Students can begin in fall, spring or summer.

Beyond the classroom, students can join more than 100 organizations, choose among four housing units and take part in a varsity athletics program. The university also carries on the Specs Howard School of Media Arts legacy through certificate and degree programs in media.
