International Requirements

We are excited to work with students from all over the world to strengthen diversity and community on campus. Please review the requirements for international students below. All international students are encouraged to submit all required documents four to six months in advance of the desired date of entrance.  Once admitted to PBA, international students are automatically considered for academic scholarships, and you will work closely with the admissions office on next steps. If you decide to enroll at PBA, you will also work closely with the International Student Services Office on your next steps for the visa and I-20 process. We look forward to being a part of your PBA journey!

Freshman

•  A completed online application

•  Official high school transcripts equivalent to graduation from an American high school

Transcripts from schools outside of the U.S. must include a course by course evaluation and GPA equivalent from an international education consulting firm that is an approved member of NACES. PBA works closely with a company called SpanTran, and you can order an evaluation for the discounted rate of $150 by submitting your information HERE.

•  For students seeking entry to PBA from a country where English is not the primary language, we require one of these English exams:

•  TOEFL: minimum score of 79

•  IELTS: minimum score of 6.5

•  Duoligo: minimum score of 100

If you come from an English speaking country, if your high school classes have been taught in English, or if you have attended school in the United States, the English language exam is waived.

SAT and ACT scores are NOT required, but you can submit them either along with or after your PBA application has been submitted to potentially qualify for bonus scholarships, with a minimum SAT score of 1200 or a minimum ACT of 25.
