The College of Education's graduate admission staff assists international students through the admission process and addresses their needs. You are considered an international student if you were educated outside of the United States. You will submit international educational credentials as part of your application, and/or you are or will be in F-1 or J-1 visa status while you are enrolled at DePaul.
As an international student, in addition to the regular application requirements for any graduate program in the College of Education, you will need to meet two additional requirements:
International Degree Evaluation
If you have earned a degree from a college or university outside of the U.S., you will need to submit a course-by-course evaluation from an accredited evaluation agency, such as Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE), One Earth, Educational Perspectives, or World Education Services (WES), as part of your application for admission. Also, if your former college or university provides transcript documents in a language other than English, you will need to submit translations with them.
An English language examination is required for applicants who have completed their undergraduate education outside the USA. The College of Communication requires the following English language proficiency scores for admission to any of its graduate programs:
