In addition to the stated admissions requirements, all international students must be able to read, write and communicate in English. Students who do not have English as their first language must take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). International students, including those from the US, are advised to make early contact with the Admissions Department at the Canadian Extension campus.

We are so thankful that you are considering WOLBI for your Biblical study. We are excited to report that we have over 60 international students from 19 countries combined on our Canadian, New York, and Florida campuses.
