International Students

The Master of Arts in Conflict Analysis and Dispute Resolution welcomes applicants from international students who can demonstrate graduate ability and proficiency in the English language may be offered admission.

Admissions and Application

• Graduate International On-Line Application (preferred)
• Graduate International Paper Application

The international student application process requires additional time to complete, so we prefer to have all forms and documents in the Admissions office by March 1 for fall (September) and October 1 for spring (end of January). We will, however, continue to admit international students as long as class space is available.  Graduate students (Master's Degree) are not eligible for on-campus housing.

   Salisbury University does not necessarily endorse WES or ECE.  Obtaining an external evaluation service does not guarantee acceptance or awarding of credit by Salisbury. However, it has been the experience of the Office of Admissions that the university generally honors the assessment of credit to be awarded by these services.

3. An official score report of your Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam. This report must be sent directly to International Admissions Office from the Testing Service - our Institutional Code is 5403 for TOEFL.

4. A "Declaration of Finances" form. Carefully read and complete all items on this form, and submit all required certifications. Any missing information or certification may cause a delay in the evaluation of your application. Certifications may be submitted on a separate sheet. Remember, however, all certificates must be submitted before an evaluation of your Declaration of Finances can be completed.

Please COMPLETE EVERY ITEM on these forms. If an item DOES NOT apply to you, print "N/A" in the appropriate space. Leaving items blank or omitting necessary documents may require that a form or document to be returned to you and could result in a delay of your starting time.
