Cheyney University of Pennsylvania: international tuition 16,676 USD per year, one-year total cost 39,394 USD. Published minimum English scores: IELTS 6, TOEFL iBT 79.
Getting in. Neither the school's site nor College Scorecard gives an admit rate or the SAT range of admitted students. 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+ or TOEFL iBT 79+.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 39,394 USD, before any scholarship. 1 scholarship comes with an amount, but none says international students can apply, so nothing is taken off yet.
Deadline and visa. The school has not published an application deadline. You apply through CommonApp. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
