International Students

How to Apply

• Apply online

  You may apply online using Eastern's Online Application or the Common Application.

  How do I know if I am a First-year student or Transfer student?
  First-year students have never attended college, or have college credits from another country that will not transfer to Eastern.
  Transfer students have attended college, either in the USA or another country, and will be transferring those credits toward their degree from Eastern.

• Pay $50 non-refundable application fee

  All international students must submit an application fee online. Eastern does not issue fee waivers; all fee waivers must come directly from the student if he or she qualifies.
