Mount St. Joseph University: international tuition 39,750 USD per year, one-year total cost 41,000 USD, acceptance rate 59.1%. Published minimum English scores: IELTS 6.5, TOEFL iBT 79, Duolingo 110.
Getting in. The school admits 59.1% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 470–580, Math 460–560, ACT 20–28. 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 6.5+, TOEFL iBT 79+ or Duolingo 110+.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 41,000 USD, before any scholarship. 5 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 14/8. You apply through Common App. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
