International undergraduates apply online (no application fee) and upload:

• Official transcripts of their highest qualification, at least the equivalent of a high school diploma; transcripts from outside the US need an evaluation
• A copy of the passport page with photo, name and date of birth
• An official bank statement, under three months old, covering CSP's cost estimate in US dollars, plus the Certificate of Finance form
• Proof of English proficiency

New students start in autumn or spring; there is no summer admission. Students already in the US transfer their SEVIS record to CSP.

Minimum English scores for undergraduate programmes (tests no older than two years):

• TOEFL iBT: 59
• IELTS Academic: 5.5
• PTE: 46
• Duolingo: 90
• iTEP: 3.5

The accelerated nursing (ABSN) and diagnostic medical sonography programmes require more, e.g. TOEFL 84 or IELTS 6.5 with no module below 6.0. A US high school diploma, an IB diploma or citizenship of a listed English-speaking country exempts applicants.

Cost estimate for international undergraduates, 2026-27 academic year (US$):

• Tuition and fees: $27,200
• Living expenses: $13,000
• Other expenses (health insurance, books, transport, student services fees): $6,000

From fall 2027, tuition for traditional on-campus undergraduates drops to $21,700 a year.

CSP has four residence halls: Holst (four-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments and studios) and the Hyatt, Luther and Wollaeger halls (double and single rooms). For 2026-27, room and board is based on $13,000 a year including laundry; for example, a Holst four-bedroom place costs $10,400 a year and a double room in the other halls $7,300, plus a meal plan. New students receive a housing assignment after paying the enrolment deposit and registering full time.
