Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • International first-year review requires secondary records, national examination evidence where applicable, English translations and a counsellor recommendation.
  • Check country-specific qualifications.
  • General test-optional admission does not remove international English-evidence requirements.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • Undergraduate English options include IELTS 6.5, Duolingo 120 or PTE Academic 53.
  • Education-based waivers require admissions review; an SAT reading/writing alternative has its own threshold.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • International undergraduate guidance covers fall and spring starts.
  • Confirm the major’s first-year course sequence and immigration processing for the intended term.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • Hofstra recommends international applications by May 1 for fall or November 15 for spring.
  • First-year Early Action is an earlier option; confirm the intake-specific plan rather than treating these recommendations as guaranteed late availability.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • The 2026/27 bursar schedule lists fall full-time undergraduate tuition of USD 30,468 for 12–17 credits.
  • Full-time term fees include USD 392 university, USD 115 technology and USD 80 activities.
  • International insurance is separately listed at USD 1,149 fall and USD 1,592 spring.
  • Extra credits and living costs are additional.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • International applicants are considered for academic merit funding rather than university need-based aid.
  • A qualifying merit award is included in the admission letter without a separate application.
  • Amount and renewal conditions depend on the individual offer, not older domestic award ranges.
