International Students
Wave Leadership College’s goal is to influence students locally as well as globally. We believe that international students impact and shape the learning experience in and outside of the classroom. WLC is committed to serving international students because we know that having a global community is significant.
Who is considered international?
An international student is one who attends WLC on a non-immigrant F-1 visa.
*Students who have legal permanent residency (“green card”) status through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security or who are U.S. citizens by birth but have grown up overseas may be culturally and socially “international,” but for purposes of the application, enrollment and financial aid eligibility, they should follow all procedures for U.S. citizens.

For international students in which English is not the primary language of their country the TOEFL exam must be taken to demonstrate one’s effectiveness with the English language. This test may be waived under certain conditions. Individuals that will need to take the TOEFL exam should consult the TOEFL website to learn more about passing scores, locations, times, and costs associated with the exam.
