  • Public

Adams State University: international tuition 21,944 USD per year, one-year total cost ≈ 36,472 USD. Published minimum English scores: TOEFL iBT 61, Duolingo 90.

Getting in. Neither the school's site nor College Scorecard gives an admit rate or the SAT range of admitted students. For English, the school asks for TOEFL iBT 61+ or Duolingo 90+. No IELTS score is listed.

Cost for a year. One year comes to about 36,472 USD, before any scholarship. 3 scholarships come with an amount, but none says international students can apply, so nothing is taken off yet.

Deadline and visa. The application deadline for fall is 15/7. You apply through International Application for Admission. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
