International students are welcome to make application to all Brite degree programs. Special procedures are required and Brite Divinity School cooperates with the Texas Christian University Office of International Student Services.
Each student must be proficient in the English language at the time of admission. For students who have not received their education at an accredited English-speaking college or university, the Divinity School requires an official report from the Educational Testing Service of at least 550 (computer-based 213 or internet-based 79-80) on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) for first masters degrees, and normally 600 (computer-based 250 or internet-based 100) for Th.M., D.Min. and Ph.D. degrees. American citizens for whom English is a second language may also be required to take the TOEFL exam. International students must be prepared to demonstrate financial capability before TCU issues a notice of final acceptance and an I-20 form. All financial sponsors are required to send their agreed upon supportive funds to TCU 14 days prior to the start of the term.
