Graduate International Admission Requirements

These requirements apply if you are an international applicant, or if you are a domestic applicant who attended a college or university outside the United States. Complete them in addition to the requirements for your graduate program:

If your institution's grading and evaluation system differs from the system used in the United States, you must also submit an official translation and a course-by-course evaluation of your undergraduate or graduate studies. Use one of the following evaluation services:
