International Applicants

We encourage all interested international students to apply. Please be aware that all students who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents must submit copies of their passport as well as work visa documentation. In addition, final admission to the university may be contingent upon prior degree verification that requires visual verification of original language diplomas and transcripts, along with official English translations. Please contact us should you have further questions.

Transcripts

Please submit one set of records from each college or university you have attended. These records should indicate the number of lecture and laboratory hours devoted to each course and the grades you received. Also include official documents that indicate the title and date of the degrees you have earned. This is considered the equivalent to a "transcript" issued from an American institution.

If your academic transcripts are not in English, you must submit a notarized, official English translation. Marshall requires official copies of both original language and English language transcripts. You may send certified copies in lieu of the original transcripts.

English Language Exams

All international applicants who did not earn a bachelor's degree from a university in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, or New Zealand must admit scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE Academic). We do not accept scores from the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam.

To avoid delays in processing your application, we suggest that you ask to have your TOEFL or PTE Academic scores sent to USC Marshall when you pre-register for the examination. You can also upload copies of your TOEFL or PTE Academic scores -- and your GMAT or GRE scores -- with your application.
