International Student Admissions: Graduates from Non-U.S. Institutions
International applicants from non‑U.S. institutions should submit the following documents in addition to the required graduate admission application and items outlined in the Graduate Admission Requirements:
- All applicants should submit a transcript during the application process. Important Note: Transcripts from non-U.S. institutions must also be submitted for an academic credential evaluation to obtain equivalency information regarding courses, credits, grades, and degrees earned. The review must be requested by the applicant and must be conducted by a NACES member organization. Each NACES member organization may have different requirements regarding document submission. A general or document-by-document report is sufficient and must include GPA. An official copy of the completed evaluation should be sent from the NACES member organization directly to Bridgewater College. For convenience we've listed a few companies who evaluate international credentials. A complete list of NACES qualified reviewers may be found at www.naces.org.
