    The only programme area shown is graduate study, with a master's degree listed. The programme catalogue is still being compiled, so check the university website for the current subject list and degree options.

  3. Getting in

    International applicants should use the university website to confirm entry requirements, deadlines, and document checks for the master's programme. As with any application from abroad, verify the academic qualification needed, English-language requirements if any, and whether additional requirements apply to military-college study.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a fee for international students; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs in Charleston will depend on housing, food, transport, and personal spending, so check current local estimates before applying.

  6. How it compares

    Among 2,515 universities in the United States, The Citadel stands out as a public senior military college rather than a broad multi-subject university. Its strongest fit is for applicants who want a master's-level route in a military-college setting rather than a large general programme menu.
