Academic requirements In addition to meeting Keller's general admission requirements, you will need to provide certified copies of acceptable documents demonstrating the required level of prior education.

English-Language-Proficiency All instruction and services are provided in English.

In addition to fulfilling all other admission requirements, applicants whose native language is other than English must demonstrate English-language proficiency by providing evidence of one of the following:

• Submission of a high school diploma, or post-secondary degree or higher, earned at an institution at which the language of instruction was English*.
• Submission of a post-secondary transcript verifying completion of 30 semester-credit hours of baccalaureate-level courses (excluding remedial and developmental courses) with at least a C (70 percent) average from an institution at which the language of instruction was English*.
• Submission of an earned Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score of at least 550 on the paper-based TOEFL, 213 on the computer-based TOEFL or 79 on the Internet-based TOEFL**.
• Submission of an overall band score of at least 5.5 on the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam**.
• Submission of an overall score of at least 4.5 on the International Test of English Proficiency (iTEP) Academic-Plus exam**.
• Successful completion of all three levels of the Global Assessment Certificate program.
• Successful completion of the Comprehensive English Program - Level 5 through the GEOS Language Academy.
• Successful completion of an approved external Intensive English Program.
• Submission of documents demonstrating successful completion of a DeVry-recognized advanced-level English as a Second Language (ESL) course.
• Completion of either of the following, with a grade of B (80 percent) or higher, from a DeVry-approved post-secondary institution or community college:
  • The equivalent of DeVry's freshman English composition course.
  • Two or more baccalaureate-level English writing or composition courses.
• Documents verifying at least two years' service in the U.S. military.
• Having attained an acceptable score on a DeVry-administered English-language-proficiency exam†.

At DeVry University locations offering an ESL program, different English-language-proficiency requirements apply. Details are available in location-specific English as a Second Language supplements.

*Students who submit a transcript from a post-secondary institution (or higher) at which English was the primary language of instruction may submit a letter from the institution's registrar indicating the language of instruction at the institution was English.

**Applicants not requiring an I-20 who do not meet the minimum score requirement may be admitted. Provided an ESL program is not offered at the chosen location, such applicants, if admitted, must attempt GM410 during their first session of enrollment and successfully complete the course by the end of their second session of enrollment.

†International applicants requiring an I-20 may not take DeVry-administered ESL tests.

Visa requirements In order to study in the U.S., you will need an F-1 Student Visa. Details on how to apply for this visa can be found on the Visa & Immigration Requirements page.

Financial obligation If you are applying for an F-1 Student Visa, you will need to provide a notarized statement of financial support or a certified government sponsor letter indicating that tuition will be paid in advance of each term and that a sponsor will provide all necessary living expenses. (Form I-134 may be used.) If your employer provides tuition assistance contact your supervisor or employee benefits office to determine if tuition reimbursement or direct billing is available.
