Admissions

International Students

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 must also complete a Statement of Support indicating their ability to fund their education at the Bible Institute.

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 New York, Florida and Canadian campuses.
If you have any questions regarding admissions to the New York or Florida campuses, please email wendywilliamson@wol.org. We would love to see you here with us!
