Undergraduate and graduate admission requirements are different.
Please follow the instructions or process for the academic level of
study for which you are applying.
International Undergraduate
- International undergraduate applicants usually, but not
always, have a single office on a campus to help them, regardless of the
program of interest (e.g. Mathematics, Business, History).
- Private scholarships or grants are the primary forms of financial aid for international undergraduate students.
- English language proficiency requirements vary at each college
or university. Many institutions have established specific test scores
as a means of checking English language proficiency. Click here for
information about English Language Proficiency Test services. You will
need to check the English language requirements at the institution of
your choice.
- It may be necessary to have your academic credentials
translated and evaluated as part of the admission process. Credential
evaluation services evaluate and convert educational credentials from
any country in the world into their U.S. equivalents by describing each
certificate, diploma or degree you have earned and stating its academic
equivalency in the United States. A number of American institutions of
higher education will require you to submit an evaluation of your
credentials before admitting you to study. Check the requirement at the
institution of your choice. Click here for information about credential evaluation services.
International Graduate
- International graduate applicants usually, but not always,
need to work with the academic department that offers the specific
program of interest (e.g. Biophysics).
- Financial assistance most often is available in the form of
research assistant or teaching assistant positions or as private
scholarships.
- English language proficiency requirements are often higher for
participation in graduate level programs. Click here for information

the English language requirements at the institution of your choice.
Please be aware that in graduate programs, each program may have
different requirements so you also need to check with the specific
program for your interest.

- The standardized test scores required for admission depend on
the program. Although many programs require test scores from the
Graduate Record Examination (GRE), programs in law schools usually
require the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) and business programs
often require scores from the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT).
