International Applicants

International Coursework

If your post-secondary educational history includes coursework from outside the United States, you must submit the following documentation.

• All transcripts and examination certificates of non-U.S. secondary and/or postsecondary coursework in the native language of instruction and a word for word certified, literal (exact) English translation (if applicable).
