First-year applicants

Apply with SLU's free online application or the Common App, send official high school transcripts electronically and include a personal essay. Strong college-preparatory coursework is the main factor.

Test-optional

SAT and ACT scores are optional for all undergraduate programs, and applicants who do not submit them are not disadvantaged.

English proficiency

International applicants need one of: IELTS 6.5, TOEFL iBT 80, Duolingo 110, PTE 54, SAT reading and writing 550 or ACT English 21. Scores are valid for two years.

Other ways to show English

Completing your entire high school curriculum in English, or a non-ESL college English course at a US institution, can also meet the requirement. Most new international students also sit SLU's writing exam for placement.

Pathway option

Students who do not meet direct-entry English requirements are encouraged to apply to the English language programs offered by INTO Saint Louis University.

Proof of funding

To receive an I-20 you must show financial support; SLU estimates about USD 70,000 for one year of undergraduate tuition and living costs.
