International Students

While make-up artistry is a visual art, minimal English language proficiency is required. Students must demonstrate proficiency in the English language in order to apply.

If you have attended secondary school outside of the U.S., you must provide documents that offer proof of completion of compulsory/customary secondary education in your native country, such as the equivalent of the American High School diploma. All records or transcripts covering secondary school work must be submitted for evaluation to determine that acceptable minimum requirements have been met.
Proof of completion of a Bachelor’s degree, or the equivalent of a Bachelor’s degree in your native country, will also be accepted.
MUD is authorized to issue I-20 documentation for M-1 visas for students who are enrolled at school.
MUD’s I-20 document is only valid for an M-1 visa and can only be provided for the period of time during which the student is registered at MUD.
