University of Dubuque: international tuition 43,440 USD per year, one-year total cost 49,671 USD, acceptance rate 88.6%.

Getting in. The school admits 88.6% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 490–610, Math 490–610, ACT 18–24. The SAT and ACT are optional: a score counts if you send one, and you can still apply without it. The school has not published a minimum English score.

Cost for a year. One year comes to 49,671 USD, before any scholarship. 7 scholarships come 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 Common App. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
