International Students.
Students from around the world are welcome at Pioneer International University. We offer our students the opportunity to learn and grow through a curriculum specifically designed to cross-cultural and national boundaries. At Pioneer, we understand how important it is to feel prepared to fully embrace your professional life after graduation and we are here to support you. To process your application promptly and begin the process of admission at PIU, it is important that you provide all required documents as an international student.
As an International Applicant, you must have satisfied the minimum University entry requirement in your country and meet departmental requirements for the subject applied for. Candidates from non-English speaking countries shall be required to pass a special entrance exam set by PIU and demonstrate proficiency in written and spoken English.
Transfer Students.
Transfer students are important contributors to the Pioneer International University community, and we value the experience and maturity transfer students bring to the classroom environment. A transfer student is an individual who has studied at another accredited university or college prior to studying at Pioneer International University.
We offer programs to assist you in making a smooth transition to PIU, and to ensure that you have positive experiences socially, personally, and academically. Students wishing to transfer to PIU from another provider must complete the Student Transfer Application form, available on our website or available from the Office of the Registrar. Once completed, this document with supporting evidence must be submitted to the University Registrar for assessment.
