2025-2026 Adrian College Academic Catalog

International Students

Adrian College welcomes students from other countries, who bring with them a rich cultural heritage. In return, the campus community is eager to share American cultural opportunities with these students.

Students from other countries who are interested in undergraduate study at Adrian College are encouraged to apply.  The application process for international students at Adrian College is the same process all undergraduate students undertake, with a few key differences. The requirements may vary depending on your country of origin and specific educational history, particularly the type of transcript you will need to submit.  Students will be considered for admission when the Office of Admissions has received;

  1. The application for admission. Students may apply online at http://www.adrian.edu/apply.
  2. The high school transcript.  The applicant must request that the high school send an official transcript to the Office of Admissions. An official English translation is required to accompany the transcript if the transcript is not issued in English by the school. Students who have already completed high school, including university transfer applicants, should be sure to have final high school transcript submitted showing the graduation date.
  3. Official college transcripts (if currently or previously enrolled in a college or university).
  4. TOEFL, IELTS, or MET scores (for non-native speakers of English).

In addition, each international student must show evidence of:

  1. An academic objective which can be achieved at Adrian College.

  2. A strong academic record and the capacity to benefit from study in higher education.

  3. Adequate financial support to travel to the College, to live reasonably while in residence in the United States, to maintain adequate health insurance, and to return home.

  4. The ability to read, write, and speak the English language with sufficient fluency to participate in the regular instructional program of the College.
