Requirements for Non-U.S. Students

For those whose first language is NOT English, the minimum TOEFL score is set at 550 (CBT=213 or Internet Score=79).

So that IWU can verify that international students have the appropriate college or university level education, another distance learning Bachelor of Science in BIS program requirement is a "course by course" evaluation of your transcripts done by an organization such as Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE).

THIS EVALUATION IS REQUIRED FOR STUDENTS WHO HAVE OBTAINED ANY OF THEIR COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY CREDIT DEGREES FROM INSTITUTIONS LOCATED IN COUNTRIES OTHER THAN THE UNITED STATES.

(Graduates of some universities and colleges in Canada are also exempt from this "evaluation" requirement.) You may learn more about ECE and what it does by visiting their website at http://www.ece.org
