Admission Requirements

An application to WCIU requires the following from prospective students:

Prospective students must have a bachelor’s degree or international equivalent from an accredited university as evidenced by submitting an official transcript from said university.

**FOREIGN TRANSCRIPT EVALUATION:** WCIU requests applicants to provide official transcripts in English or with notarized translation. Students who are unable to provide official transcripts in English are required to go through transcripts evaluation by a member agency of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES). The University reserves the right to determine the acceptability and relevance of degrees and credits earned at other institutions.

• Prospective students whose native language is not English and who have not earned a degree from an appropriately accredited institution where English is the principal language of instruction must demonstrate college-level proficiency in English through one of the following for admission: 

  1. Duolingo English Test score of at least 105 

  2. TOEFL score of at least 80 (for the internet-based test)

  3. TOEFL score of at least 65 (for the paper-based test).

  4. PBT scores will no longer be accepted after April 2023.

  5. IELTS score of at least 6.5 

  6. A transcript indicating completion of at least 30 semester credit hours with an average grade of “B” or higher at an institution accredited by an agency recognized by the United States Secretary of Education and/or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), or accepted foreign equivalent that is listed in the International Handbook of Universities where the language of instruction was English. 

Students must complete the online application. This can be done by clicking “Apply Now”.

WCIU requests a certified copy of a government-issued ID during the admissions process. As our education is largely online, this is necessary to validate who the prospective student is. WCIU collects students' photo government-issued identification during the admissions process and uses multiple means to verify student identity throughout enrollment. Students access the college management system using a secure login and passcode. Additionally, students participate in synchronous discussions with other students and faculty bi-monthly. During these bi-monthly discussions, faculty compare student attendance against the government-issued identifications on file.

Identify a professional reference on the application who will need to fill out an online reference form. This will also be used to confirm the applicant’s agency membership (to determine if they are eligible for the 50% discount on the Foundations of Biblical Faith Course).

• Reliable High Speed Internet (cable, DSL, etc.)

• Windows Vista/7/8/10 or comparable Macintosh/Linux operating system

• Adobe Acrobat Reader

• Word Processor (MS Word recommended)

• Personal Email Address (Gmail or similar recommended)

We prefer to receive official transcripts as soon as possible. During the application phase, WCIU can use an unofficial transcript to initially process candidacy. Candidates must be aware, however, that final acceptance and enrollment can only happen after WCIU has received and evaluated an official transcript.
