Application and Registration for International Applicants
As a potential international applicant, we strongly encourage you to consider Lipscomb. We'd like to explain a few guidelines for the application and registration process.
International applicants must complete an application and meet the same admissions requirements as United States citizens.
While we do not require an entrance exam, we strongly recommend that students take the ACT or the SAT.
International students must also submit a TOEFL score. A minimum score of 550 is required on the paper-based test, or a minimum score of 213 on the computer-based test.
International students must demonstrate sufficient financial resources for four years of university study.
For applicants whose academic records are from schools outside the United States, we require a course-by-course report from an approved evaluation service. This detailed review must be provided before we can consider the application for admission.
Health insurance is required.
International students must pay in full each semester before registering for classes.
