Your first step in applying is to fill out the application form. Indicate if you are applying for first year or transfer admission. Also decide which semester you would like to begin your studies. Galen University admits students in January, May, and September of each year, and also  offers a summer school program.

Your application file must be fully completed before the Admissions Committee can consider your application. It is the applicant’s responsibility to begin the process in a timely manner so that the Galen University Office of Admissions receives transcripts and all other documentation at least two weeks before the start of a session. Applications for admission are processed on a rolling basis. Students are encouraged to apply at the earliest opportunity to allow ample time to complete the application process.

If you are an international applicant for a degree, you complete the same application form as other students. If your secondary and/or post-secondary school documents are not in English, you must submit notarized translations along with original documents. Contact the Office of Admission for information about how to do this. You may also need to submit scores from the CEEB Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) if English is not your primary language. If you do not have access to the TOEFL, please contact the Office of Admission about other testing options. Galen University's TOEFL code is 7974.

If you are interested in applying for financial assistance, you must apply at the same time you apply for admission. Please complete the scholarship forms. Scholarships for International Students are very limited.
