If you trained outside the US
We read this program's admissions pages and they take no position on international applicants. That is not a yes and not a no — ask the program before you spend anything.
“Transcripts from countries other than the U.S. must be evaluated on a course by course basis by a university accepted evaluation service, such as World Education Services, Educational Credential Evaluators, Educational Perspectives, or One Earth International Credential Evaluators and be deemed equivalent to accredited U.S. university standards. Evaluations from an approved member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES.org) will also be accepted.”
- Credential evaluation
- World Education Services, Educational Credential Evaluators, Educational Perspectives or One Earth International Credential Evaluators; any NACES member also accepted; course-by-course
- English requirement
- Required of applicants with transcripts from outside the US unless from a waiver country: TOEFL 72, IELTS 6.0 or Duolingo 105
Requirements change between cycles, and a program can say one thing on its website and another in an email. Confirm with the program before you pay for a credential evaluation or an English exam. We do not advise on visas or immigration. The full route, step by step
