International Admissions

Most importantly, we offer a life-changing Christian community where students like you are enfolded in support, even as you’re challenged to explore, lead, and discern your calling in God’s world.
Students from all over the globe choose PBA, forming a tight-knit community of international students who help to shape the diverse and hospitable culture that the campus is known for.

The International Student Services office, together with your personal admissions counselor, is here to help at every step. Navigating application admission requirements has never been more accessible.
Complete your free online application here or on the Common App website.
Submit your official high school transcript (with official transcript evaluation for non-U.S.-accredited schools).
Submit your official TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo Score to show English language proficiency. Visit the International Requirements page for more details on admission requirements and exceptions.
ACT and SAT scores for freshmen are NOT required, but may be sent either along with or after your PBA application has been submitted, to be considered for bonus scholarships.
International students are eligible for many scholarships and other forms of financial aid.
If you are not a U.S. citizen or Green Card holder, you will need to apply for an F-1 student visa to study at PBA. Once you decide to enroll at PBA and after you submit a $300 enrollment deposit, our International Student Services office will assist you with obtaining an I-20 form, the first step in the visa process. You can contact ISS@iin3d.com for assistance, and plan on completing your application for admission and visa application as early as possible to allow for sufficient processing time.
