International Applications
An international applicant is neither a U.S. citizen nor a U.S. permanent resident at the time an application is submitted.
An international student whose postsecondary education is completed outside the United States must hold the equivalent to a U.S. baccalaureate degree, granted by a non-U.S. university or university-level institution.
International Academic Records
Official records (transcripts and diplomas) bearing the signature of the registrar or other responsible academic officer and the seal of the issuing institution are required in all applications for graduate admission. However, true copies, facsimiles, or photo-static copies of foreign academic records will be accepted if, after the copies have been made, they have been personally signed and stamped by an educational official who certifies that they are exact copies of the original document. Properly certified and signed copies should be sent instead of irreplaceable original documents. Academic records must be in the language of the institution and an official English translation must accompany official documents written in other languages.
International academic records must show all courses attended each year, examinations passed, seminars completed, and grades or marks received at all institution where formal records are maintained. Official evidence of degree conferral must also be supplied, together with evidence of rank in class if available.
Applicants are not required to submit GRE or GMAT scores. Foreign applicants whose native language is not English and whose undergraduate education was conducted in a language other than English are required to submit TOEFL or IELTS scores. IR/PS requires applicants to have achieved a score of at least 80 on the TOEFL internet-based test (iBT), 550 on the TOEFL paper-based test (PBT), or band 7.0 on the IELTS.
