Getting in. The school admits 45.2% of applicants. The SAT range of admitted students is not published. 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 TOEFL iBT 68+. No IELTS score is listed.
Cost for a year. One year comes to about 34,923 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 Johnson C. Smith University's Online Application Portal. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
