The list below provides general information on the degrees/credentials from non-U.S. schools which make you eligible for admission to the Wagner School. In determining your eligibility, use the general rule of four years of university level education.

As an international applicant, you are encouraged, but not required, to submit a third party international credential evaluation to assess U.S. Bachelor’s equivalency and to do a course-by-course evaluation.

You will receive information about next steps in the visa application process in your admission letter. However, the process is coordinated by NYU's Office of Global Services (OGS). All questions should be directed to OGS. 

You are required to submit both the official transcript and its English translation. If the institution you attend/attended does not provide an English translation with the official transcript, you must obtain a certified English translation before submitting your application.

Following these steps will ensure the validity of your transcript:

When reviewing your credentials we will need to know the courses you completed, the grades/evaluations you received for those classes, and that you were awarded your degree. This means that you should submit original official transcripts (with courses and grades noted) which also indicate your degree conferral.

Wagner Student and Program Services can sign a CPT form. Please go to NYU’s Office of Global Services webpage at this link to download the CPT form and instructions.

If you are submitting a TOEFL, we require a score of 100 or above. For the IELTS, we require a score of 7.0 or above (7.5 or above strongly encouraged). If you are applying for the EMPA for Global Policy Leaders, a TOEFL of 109 or IELTS of 7.5 is required.
 

You must take TOEFL (or IELTS) if you did not receive a postsecondary degree from a program instructed exclusively in English.
