Students from FAE–Curitiba, FAE–Blumenau and Universidade São Francisco can apply to Baldwin-Wallace as transfer students, after completing three years of studies at their home institution.
The documentation required includes:
- Certified English translations of official records and a copy of the original from every secondary school and university attended.
- TOEFL Score with a minimum of 71 (internet-based).
- A Recommendation Letter
- A Certification of Finances form, and a certified bank statement with amounts listed in US dollars (if your bank does not issue bank statements in dollars, contact ECE-FAE at 2105-4440).
- Students interested in music major must also submit the Audition Portfolio and videotaped audition.
Application Timelines
- The Fall semester begins in August, and the Spring semester begins in January. We ask that students apply at least four months prior to their intended date of entrance in order to allow time for the admission decision and the visa application process.
- Once the completed application for admission is received by the Office of Admission, students will be notified of a decision within four to six weeks of applying. Students applying to be music majors will have their videotaped audition and portfolio reviewed by the Conservatory of Music, and will be notified of the audition decision by the Conservatory.
- If students are transferring credentials from FAE or São Francisco, their coursework will be evaluated by the Registrar’s Office after they have been admitted to Baldwin-Wallace.
- If students are admitted to Baldwin-Wallace, they will be mailed an acceptance letter, as well as an Enrollment Agreement card. Upon receiving the Enrollment Agreement card from the student, Baldwin-Wallace will issue an I-20 form for the student’s use in securing a visa from the nearest U.S. Consulate.
Admission to Baldwin-Wallace
Admission to B-W is selective, but each application is reviewed independently on its own merits. The admission decision is based on the following criteria:
- The results of the TOEFL
- The student’s academic achievement in secondary school and/or university as evidenced by the academic transcripts
