Provide College Transcripts and Evaluation Report

Request to have your college transcripts sent to Concordia. If your transcript is not in English or not from an American international school, you must provide an evaluation report to verify your credentials, degree and U.S. equivalencies. A comprehensive or course-by-course report is required. An evaluation may be obtained from wes.org, InCred (ask Concordia Admissions if you need the link), or an approved transcript evaluation partner.

Provide English Language Proficiency Scores

Non-native English speakers must provide proof they are proficient in the English language to be accepted and begin college studies. TOEFL is our preferred test, but Concordia will accept these tests for undergraduate admission:

  • TOEFL iBT (Test of English as a Foreign Language) – 78 total score or above required
  • Duolingo – 100 total score or above required
  • English3 Proficiency Test – 67 total score or above
  • IELTS (International English Language Testing) – 6.5 total score or above required

Please request to have your official test scores forwarded to Concordia University, Nebraska.

*English proficiency is required by the United States government for an international student to prove they meet all admissions requirements and can come to the U.S. on an F-1 visa status to engage in academic studies.

Once you have fulfilled the admission requirements and been accepted to Concordia, you will need to complete several more steps to enroll and begin attending. Please complete the next steps to take and let your admissions counselor know if you have any questions.
