International Student Admissions

Attending college in a different country is a big adjustment, but also a great opportunity. At PCC, you’ll join a welcoming, Christian environment where everyone you meet is eager to help you feel at home. Entering a new community is a great chance to grow in your faith and pursue a common goal: influencing the world for Christ.

There are a few key differences in the admissions process for international students, including the requirement of the English proficiency language test (TOEFL). If you have any questions, our team of international admissions counselors are ready to help! Give us a call at 850-478-8496.

Looking for application deadlines? Pensacola Christian College follows a “rolling admissions” policy, meaning we accept qualified candidates as they apply until all available spaces are filled. Even though there’s no formal application deadline, we encourage you to apply at least six months in advance.

After you’ve submitted your application, you can check your application status using our applicant portal.
