The Graduate School requires that all applicants have either a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution in the United States or proof of equivalent training at a foreign institution of higher learning.
Unofficial documents will suffice for the application process. Any document uploaded to the application file by the applicant is considered unofficial. If given an offer of admission, official copies must be provided to verify your admission credentials.
Required Academic Records:
Transcripts: Yearly or semester records from each college or university where a degree was earned. Transcripts must indicate the number of lecture and/or laboratory hours per week, per course, and the grade received in each course. If given an offer of admission, official transcripts are required to verify admission credentials (see below for an explanation of "official").
Diplomas/Proof of Degree/Academic Certificates: will be required for each degree you have received. The documents must include the title and date of the degree conferred. If the title of the degree and the date conferred are listed on your transcript, that will satisfy this requirement. If given an offer of admission, official proof of degree is required to verify admission credentials (see below for an explanation of "official").
See our Required Document by Country.
Dual-language transcripts are acceptable.
Translation of non-English Documents:
If the language of instruction at your institution is not English, then you must provide:
Original-language copies of all transcripts and diplomas/academic certificates; and
A separate, word-for-word, English-language translation of all academic records you submit to us.
The translation should either come directly from the school itself or a professional, certified translator.
It must contain all information shown on the original-language documents and "mirror" them as precisely as possible.
Please note you must also provide the following:
Test Score Report for GRE/GMAT if required by your prospective program;
Test Score Report for TOEFL/IELTS or exemption request with proof of English proficiency;
Three (3) letters of recommendation (you will be able to request these via an automated email as part of your online application).
