  3. Getting in

    International applicants should apply through the collegeโ€™s official admissions process and check the website for the current requirements, deadlines, and document checklist. Because admissions details for international students are not fully specified here, confirm entry requirements, academic records needed, and any visa-related guidance directly with the admissions office and the website.

  4. What it costs

    The college does not publish a fee range for international students; confirm the current tuition and any mandatory charges with its admissions office. Living costs in Morganton will depend on housing, food, transport, and personal spending, so budget for those separately.

  5. Coming from abroad
