Knox seeks students who are active, engaged learners. We value students who demonstrate their appreciation for a variety of educational experiences, both in and out of the classroom. Our admission counselors consider you as an individual when making our admission decisions.
In order of importance, we'll consider the following information in evaluating your admission application:
Proof of English Language Proficiency is required for admission. Proficiency may be demonstrated by any one of the following tests:
Test type | The minimum score required by Knox |
IELTS | 6.5 |
TOEFL (iBT) | 80 |
Duolingo |
110 |
If your secondary education was completed in English, you don't need to take a proficiency test. Instead, have your high school counselor email a letter to admission@knox.edu confirming your English proficiency and that English is the medium of instruction.
While interviews are not required for international students, they are a wonderful way for us to get to know you. Contact the Office of Admissions to schedule an interview—or see if we're offering interviews in your area.
