Ashland University
- Private
Ashland University: international tuition 35,400 USD per year, one-year total cost 52,900 USD, acceptance rate 76.4%. Merit scholarships are open to international students. Published minimum English scores: IELTS 6, TOEFL iBT 67, Duolingo 120.
First-year international students with a 2.70+ high school GPA can get renewable merit scholarships of $9,000-$14,000 per year. The school's need-based aid relies on the FAFSA, so eligibility for international students is unclear.
Getting in. The school admits 80.5% of applicants (2,933 of 3,642). Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 505–610, Math 530–598, ACT 20–25. The SAT and ACT are optional: a score counts if you send one, and you can still apply without it. For English, the school asks for IELTS 6+, TOEFL iBT 67+ or Duolingo 120+.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 52,900 USD, before any scholarship. 1 scholarship is confirmed for international students, but nothing is taken off yet because the amount of each one is not clear.
Deadline and visa. The school has not published an application deadline. You apply through Common App. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
