Kutztown University welcomes applications for graduate study from citizens of other nations. The following requirements apply to foreign students.
International transcripts --As mentioned previously, all applicants to the Graduate College must submit by mail a sealed academic transcript of the undergraduate degree. International applicants may be required to produce a notarized translation of their transcripts. At the discretion of the Graduate Dean, translations and evaluations provided by recognized international educational service agencies may be accepted. If a translator or agency is used, the cost of such service is the sole responsibility of the applicant. Kutztown University does not pay for certified or notarized transcript translations.
Graduate Record Examination --As for all other applicants, international students must submit test scores from the general portion of the GRE, or the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) for students applying to Master of Business Administration degree. Scores from the special subject areas are not required; however, past experience has indicated that submission of academic area scores is generally to the advantage of the foreign student.
TOEFL Test--The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required of ALL international students for whom English is not their first language. A minimum test score of 550 is required for admission to the Graduate College. Individual academic departments or programs may require higher TOEFL scores.
