Texas Wesleyan reviews applications on a rolling basis. International applicants should apply by June for fall and October for spring to leave time for the I-20 and visa interview.
The main intakes are fall (August) and spring (January).
It's the F-1 student visa. Get your I-20 from Texas Wesleyan University first (they need your deposit and bank documents), then pay the SEVIS fee, complete the DS-160 and attend the visa interview. Book the interview early in peak season.
Business administration, psychology, criminal justice and the MBA are popular with international students. Undergraduates need secondary school results and around IELTS 6.0; the MBA needs a bachelor's degree and IELTS 6.5. Nurse anaesthesia requires US nursing licensure.
Texas Wesleyan gives merit scholarships to most undergraduates at admission, including international students. Table tennis players can ask about athletic awards.
