International Applicants

The Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling welcomes applications from international students. Graduates of regionally accredited American colleges and universities or of recognized, comparable degree-granting institutions abroad are eligible to apply for graduate study. This typically means the completion of a degree of at least four years duration beyond the 12th year of school.

Admission to a degree program is required for F-1 student visa eligibility.

Conditional Admission

The graduate school will consider requests for conditional admission on a case by case basis. Usually the condition is submitting proof of English proficiency and/or the submission of required scores from a standardized test. Candidates who wish to be considered for conditional admission must submit all required documentation including the application. Once all required materials are received, the application will be given to program faculty for review. Conditional admission decisions are made by faculty.
