Academic Credentials (graduate)

To be considered for admission to the Graduate School, applicants must hold a baccalaureate degree from an educational institution of recognized standing before beginning graduate studies. However, applications will be accepted and processed in advance of graduation when the amount of undergraduate work remaining to be completed is not more than two quarters or one semester. The grades earned in the undergraduate work must be equivalent to a B average. Official transcripts of all previous undergraduate and graduate course work must be submitted with the application.

International graduate students applying to a U.S. university or college for the first time must complete an Application for Evaluation of Foreign Educational Credentials and submit the required documents and fee for a Course-by-Course report to Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE), Inc.
