Academic eligibility

  • International first-year applicants need secondary-school completion, at least a 3.0 non-California GPA and the specified college-preparatory subjects.
  • Mathematics, science and social-studies preparation is assessed.
  • Computer Science is impacted, so meeting minimum entry criteria does not guarantee selection.

Language requirements

  • IELTS Academic 6.0 or an accepted equivalent; the current international table also accepts Duolingo 95.
  • Submit official scores unless an approved exemption applies.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • Fall first-year entry; the international calendar currently lists fall 2027.
