FAQs

You will need to provide official transcripts prior to enrollment. Official transcripts are verified documents that come directly from your institution through a transcript service. Official transcripts must include degree conferral date, so transcripts should be requested after graduation. If you have earned a degree outside the U.S., you must provide a course-by-course international credential evaluation, which must be written in or translated into English. The credential evaluation will serve as your official transcript. The Admissions Committee will accept an evaluation by any organization recognized by the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (www.naces.org/members). Many of our applicants use World Education Services (www.wes.org).
Many of our programs require the submission of a Kira Talent online assessment, and some programs will invite select candidates for Zoom interviews.
