International Students

Students who are not US citizens are warmly welcomed into the University and into the Classics Department. Please consult the University's website on international graduate student admissions for information and application forms at http://www.admissions.fsu.edu/intl/graduate.htm.

A few things to note when considering whether to apply to the Classics department at FSU:

  • Financial Aid: The Classics Department and the University are able to fund international students according to the same scale as domestic students. The University, however, requires, that all students who are not US citizens complete a Certificate of Financial Responsibility (CFR), available at http://admissions.fsu.edu/intl/costs.htm. The CFR will require international students to demonstrate that they have sufficient financial resources to enable them to remain in the United States for their graduate study. For 2003-4 the amount you must be able to demonstrate is: $27,648 for the graduate student and an additional $4,000 for a spouse and $2,000 for each child. Any departmental fellowships or stipends that you receive may be subtracted from this amount (for information about departmental and university funding, click here.) Questions about the CFR should be directed to intladms@admin.fsu.edu.
  • TOEFL: The University requires the TOEFL of international students. A TOEFL score of 550 (paper-based) or 213 (computer based) is required of all students wishing to apply to FSU.
    International students are also encouraged to visit the University's International Student Center website (http://www.fsu.edu/~fsu-isc/welcome.html), which contains information about the international student community at FSU and about Tallahassee.
