Piedmont University
- Private
Piedmont University: international tuition 25,900 USD per year, one-year total cost ≈ 46,801 USD, acceptance rate 93.3%. Published minimum English scores: IELTS 6, TOEFL iBT 79, Duolingo 100.
Getting in. The school admits 93.3% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 528–625, Math 510–620, ACT 18–25. 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 79+ or Duolingo 100+.
Cost for a year. One year comes to about 46,801 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 application deadline for fall is 1/8. You apply through Piedmont’s online application. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
