International Applicants

Currently the only graduate program at WCSU that is able to accept students holding the F-1 visa is the M.F.A. in Fine Arts (Painting, Illustration, or Interdisciplinary). Students who have an earned undergraduate degree in a country other than the United States must have their transcripts assessed by an appropriate educational service for a comprehensive course-by-course evaluation. This report will determine if the student completed the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor’s degree, which is the minimum requirement for acceptance into any of WCSU’s graduate programs. Prospective international applicants should contact the Office of Graduate Admissions for general questions and the coordinator of the M.F.A. in Fine Arts for program-specific questions.
