Admission Requirements for International Students

International students seeking admission to graduate degree programs must fulfill admission and financial requirements:

• Complete admission application.
• Send college transcripts or other official documentation, along with admission application, and proof that a baccalaureate degree has been awarded.
• Send results of any standardized examinations that are given in country of origin; e.g., General Certification of Education (GCE), University of Cambridge Higher School Certification, Senior High School Leaving Certificate, Pre-University Certificate, etc.
• Evaluation of foreign educational credentials. Because universities around the world differ, we require this evaluation as an assurance that you have completed the U.S. equivalent of a bachelor's degree and have taken all the appropriate prerequisite courses.
