Admissions International Students
Marlboro College’s small, rural and tight-knit academic community is an ideal environment for welcoming students from other countries and cultures. The college is always seeking motivated international students, and has accepted applicants from all over the world, from Slovenia to Ethiopia, South Korea to Peru. Like all Marlboro students, international students with intellectual promise can expect to be supported and respected for the unique experiences and perspectives they bring to the community.
As an international student applying to Marlboro, you need to have a level of English-speaking and writing skills that will allow you to be fully engaged in classrooms and the community. Academic qualifications include a minimum TOEFL score of 80 (internet-based), 213 (computer-based) or 550 (paper-based). Please be aware that you are not required to submit either the SAT or ACT test scores with your application.
In addition, sufficient financial resources to support study in the United States are required for immigration purposes, including documented proof of your ability to meet the total budget expectations. International students are eligible for merit-based scholarships, and every applicant is considered for an award based upon the Admissions Committee’s selection.
Although it involves some extra time and motivation, applying to Marlboro as an international student can lead to a rewarding experience of intellectual self-discovery. If you believe that you are able to meet both our admissions and financial requirements, please submit your official TOEFL score report in addition to completing the remaining application requirements.
To help you begin the application process, please carefully review the following important financial information.
