International Admissions
As per government regulations, a program must apply for approval to admit international students. Manchester University has received approval from the Department of Homeland Security to admit students from outside the U.S for the following programs:
- Doctor of Pharmacy Program (on-campus program only)
- Master of Science in Pharmacogenomics Program (on-campus program only)
- Master of Athletic Training Program
- Master of Business Administration
Manchester University’s Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Program, the Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) Second Degree Program, and the Master of Science in Nutrition and Nutrigenomics (MSNGx) Program does not have approval from Homeland Security to accept international students. Currently, international students are not eligible to apply to these Programs.
Application
All international applicants must apply through the appropriate CAS. A completed CAS application is required to be considered for admission to all programs. Use the links below to view admission requirements, program specific prerequisites, and application deadlines.

Additional Requirements for International Applicants and MBA Program Applicants
Students who already attend Manchester University and are interested in enrolling in one of the MBA Program's three dedicated tracks only need to follow the guidelines outlined in this section.
TRANSCRIPTS:
Applicants who completed their degree(s)/studies outside the United States will be required to submit a course-by-course foreign credit evaluation report from World Education Services (WES) for each international institution attended directly to the appropriate CAS.
Verified copies of all collegiate transcripts:
- Step 1: Enter all institutions attended, domestic and international, in CAS application.
- Step 2: Please follow the steps outlined within the CAS application process to order this evaluation.
- Information about WES can be found at www.wes.org. Students are responsible for payment of fees to WES (not Manchester University) for this service.
English Proficiency:
International applicants must be able to read, speak, write and comprehend rapid idiomatic English. We do not offer ESL instruction. Therefore, the TOEFL or IELTS exam is required of all students whose language of instruction is not English. The following are minimum guidelines used to determine sufficient test scores for admission:
TOEFL paper-based test = 550
TOEFL iBT = 79
IELTS = 6.5
Testing locations and dates for these exams may be found on their web sites:
TOEFL
IELTS
Test results must be entered into your CAS application and sent to the appropriate CAS.
Important: Applicants who were instructed in English may still be asked to submit a TOEFL or IELTS exam result in order to assess English proficiency.
Evidence of financial support:
Students must be able to show their ability to pay for their program studies in the United States. Students may self-fund their education or obtain a financial sponsor. Students with a financial sponsor must complete the Affidavit of Financial Support and return the document signed by the student’s sponsor to the Office of Graduate Admissions with proof of adequate funds to support you for at least one year. Such proof includes bank statements, employer testimony of salary, or government support letters.
*Evidence of financial support is not required for those enrolling into the MBA Program.
Statement of Non-Discrimination in the Admission Process
Manchester University is committed to non-discrimination in the admissions process. The University does not discriminate on the basis of national origin, ancestry, race, color, age, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, familial status, religion, disability, physical characteristics, or veteran status in admissions including its admission decisions and scholarships or loan awards.
Certified copies of marks, grades, and transcripts, if the degree(s) were received from institutions outside of the U.S.
Manchester will not accept transcripts directly submitted by students or institutions. All international transcripts must be submitted for evaluation to World Education Services. WES will then send Manchester University a copy of their evaluation. There is a fee for this evaluation that the student is in charge of paying and the evaluation can take 2-4 weeks. If you are transferring from a university outside the U.S., you also must have the transcript evaluated by World Education Services. Admission and transfer of credits cannot be finalized until we receive the report from WES:
