Graduate programs are available to international students at our Providence Campus location only.
Applicants who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents (holding a “green card” or permanent resident card) of the U.S. must meet the same admissions requirements as all other applicants, including some additional documentation required for the Form I-20. International Graduate Studies students must submit official or certified transcripts/mark sheets from all institutions attended and diploma showing bachelor’s degree (and master's degree, if applicable) conferral. Photocopies, fax copies, U.S. Notary copies, scanned or emailed documents are valid for application purposes. However, official or certified documents will be required before final enrollment, presented either by mail or in-person. Without such verification, students will not be allowed to register for the current semester or continue enrollment and will be in jeopardy of losing their academic status with the university as well as their immigration status. For international students, a loss of immigration status will require their immediate departure from the United States.
English language examination results must be submitted on an official test transcript that is no more than two years old. Please see English Proficiency Requirements for scores required for admission.
International applicants must submit the following:
- An accurate and complete graduate application. All schools attended must be listed, with dates of attendance.
- All postsecondary (college or university) transcripts, marks sheets, diplomas or certificates. Post-secondary qualifications include associate degree, diploma, certificate, bachelor's degree, post-graduate diploma and master's degree. All non-English credentials must be accompanied by certified word-for-word translations.
- Two letters of recommendation
- A statement of purpose
- A résumé or CV
- Certified bank statement or government sponsorship letter verifying financial support for one academic year. Bank statements cannot be older than three months from the time of issue.

English Language Proficiency test results (if applicable or available, please see English Proficiency Requirements)
- IELTS 6.5

All documents and information should be clear and legible; if important information cannot be read by the International Admissions staff, the admissions process is delayed and, as a result, so is the acceptance/Form I-20 process. All documents must be sent to the Providence Campus location directly
