International Students

Admission Requirements

• Application Fee

  Pay a non-refundable $75 application admission fee by check, money order, or credit card
• Transcript Evaluation

  Get official transcripts of all non-U.S. high schools and colleges/universities attended evaluated by an official U.S. Credential Evaluation Service. HT has partnered with WES (World Education Services) and SpanTran in an attempt to offer a viable solution to international applicants when evaluations are required.  A listing of all recognized credential evaluation services is available at naces.org. Send the results to the HT Office of Recruitment & Admission. A document-by-document evaluation is required for high school records including secondary certificates with examination results. A course-by-course evaluation is required for college/university records. International applicants must have the equivalent of a U.S. high school diploma.

• TOEFL Requirement

  Submit an official score report of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) if your home country’s official language is not English. A minimum score of 500 (paper based test) or 61 (Internet based test) is required. Students scoring between 400-499 (paper) or 32-60 (Internet) must enroll in the Foundations of English course offered by the University. Students who come from countries where English is an official language do not have to submit TOEFL scores
• Proof of Financial Support

  Submit verification of financial support to the HT Office of Recruitment & Admission. Such verification can be an official bank statement(s) or a signed letter from a bank officer dated within the past six months verifying that you have at least $25,000 in U.S. funds.
• Tuition Deposit

  Remittance of the equivalent of one semester’s tuition and fees in U.S. dollars must be received before the University will issue the U.S. I.C.E. form I-20. If the applicant fails to report to the University as agreed, the University refunds all deposits minus a $200.00 administrative fee
