UMass Boston welcomes applications from prospective students around the globe.
In addition to UMass Boston’s general and program-specific graduate application requirements, please review these requirements specifically relevant to international applicants:
Bachelor's Degree Equivalency
International applicants must submit evidence that they have completed the equivalent of a regionally accredited, U.S. university-level bachelor’s degree program. Acceptable documents can include official copies of diplomas, certified final degree certificates, and notation on final transcript of degree and date awarded. Most international 4-year degrees are recognized as being equivalent. Most international 3-year degrees, including the Indian Bachelor of Arts, Sciences and Commerce degrees, are not considered to be equivalent.
If we are unable to determine equivalence, we may require applicants to submit an external evaluation from the Center for Educational Documentation (www.cedevaluations.com). Credential evaluations from other agencies may not be accepted. Credential Evaluation Reports will not be accepted in place of official transcripts.
Transcripts
Most transcripts can be requested electronically through the Centralized Application System (CAS). Original hardcopy transcripts must be sealed in an envelope from the issuing institution. We cannot accept scanned or emailed transcripts. All materials submitted to the University become the property of the University and cannot be returned to the applicant or forwarded to any third party.
If your transcript is in a language other than English, each page must be accompanied by an English translation, validated by an official public translator.
TOEFL PBT 550
TOEFL IBT 79
IELTS Academic 6.0
PTE Academic 53
