International Application Requirements:

An international applicant is defined as any person that requires a student visa to study in the United States. International applicants are eligible to apply to any graduate program, provided they have successfully completed the equivalent of a United States bachelor’s degree and have the appropriate diplomas and/or satisfactory results on transcripts or leaving examinations from the country in which the degree was earned. International applicants must complete all program-specific application requirements as well as all additional international application requirements outlined below.

Bryant needs to see transcripts detailing your academic achievement for any degree previously earned or in progress. As a reminder, all applicants must have successfully completed the equivalent of a United States bachelor’s degree and have the appropriate diplomas and/or satisfactory results on transcripts or leaving examinations from the country in which the degree was earned. This varies from country to country. Please contact the Graduate Programs Office with questions. Please upload your transcripts to your application portal.

All applicants whose primary language is not English (or for whom English is not one of their primary languages) are required to submit proof of satisfactory English proficiency. Exceptions will be made if the applicant completed an undergraduate or graduate degree at a regionally accredited institution within the U.S., or if the language of instruction for an earned undergraduate or graduate degree was entirely in English. At this time, the only acceptable forms of proof for English proficiency are the TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo English Test, and the Pearson Test of English with minimum score requirements listed below.

TOEFL iBT: 85
IELTS: 6.5
Duolingo English Test: 115
Pearson Test of English: 53
Oxford ELLT: 7

An official score report must be sent directly from the examination organization to the Graduate Programs Office at Bryant University (TOEFL School Code: 3095).
