- Private
Southern Nazarene University: international tuition 31,950 USD per year, one-year total cost ≈ 46,465 USD. Published minimum English scores: IELTS 6, TOEFL iBT 61.
Getting in. Neither the school's site nor College Scorecard gives an admit rate or the SAT range of admitted students. For English, the school asks for IELTS 6+ or TOEFL iBT 61+.
Cost for a year. One year comes to about 46,465 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 SNU online application (Undergraduate Application). How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
