International Information Sheet

Admission Requirements

• Prior to enrolling at Davidson, an international applicant should have completed a program of study at the secondary school level expected of a student preparing for university entrance in his or her own country.
• All applicants must take the SAT or the ACT. Test scores must be sent directly to Davidson by the testing agency.
• Non-native English speakers must provide evidence of fluency in English through writing samples and successful performance on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) OR the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). TOEFL or IELTS scores must be sent directly to Davidson by the testing agency.

If you wish to apply for financial assistance from Davidson, you must complete the online CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE or the International Student Financial Aid Application and the Certification of Finances 2013-2014.
