Graduates of foreign colleges and universities who meet the standards of admission equivalent to those described may be considered for admission to the City University's doctoral programs. The applicant must present authoritative evidence of sufficient competence in the English language to pursue a regular course of study at the City University. An applicant who has not studied in an English-speaking country must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), administered internationally by Educational Testing Service, and request ETS to report examination results directly to the Admissions Office, the City University Graduate Center, 365 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York, 10016.

A student residing alone in New York City should have about $27,771 for the year to cover tuition, books, room, board, and personal expenses.
University assistance for which international students are eligible to compete is extremely limited and may not be adequate to fund the student's total expenses. Before receiving a visa for entrance into the United States, students must certify (documentary evidence is required) that they are financially able to support themselves for the entire period of their stay in the United States while pursuing a full course of study.
