Admissions

International applicants

DMU welcomes applicants from around the world. Most M.S. and Ph.D. programs are available fully online, with no F-1 visa required. Programs with on-campus components — including the Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology — follow the standard F-1 visa pathway.

What you’ll need

Transcript evaluation

Course-by-course evaluation from a NACES member service (WES, ECE, SpanTran, etc.) for any non-U.S. coursework.

English proficiency

TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo English Test. Cutoffs vary by program; waivers possible for applicants who studied in English.

Financial documentation

For programs requiring an I-20, proof of funds for one academic year plus living expenses.

Format clarity

Online programs need no visa; hybrid programs require F-1 for on-campus residency dates; onsite programs require full F-1 status.

Country-specific guidance

DMU’s priority markets get dedicated guidance — transcript pathways, English proficiency expectations, visa notes, and financial documentation appropriate to each country. If yours isn’t listed yet, contact admissions directly.
