Additional Requirements for International Transfer Students

Credit Evaluation
Once you're accepted, an academic department will review your relevant coursework and tell you how many credits you will need to complete your degree. The faculty member who completes this evaluation will determine how many credits will transfer into the degree program you've chosen as well as outline a suggested course schedule for your first semester. In order to evaluate your credits, it is important that you send us your course descriptions/course syllabi. In most cases, credit evaluations are completed and sent out to transfer students within two weeks of acceptance.

To ensure that your application receives careful consideration, it is important to meet the application deadlines. Find out more information on when to apply.
