All graduate school international applicants must satisfy the following criteria to be considered for graduate admission to the University of Idaho: 
Have earned a bachelor's degree from a college or university accredited by a recognized accrediting body, a ministry of education, or an official quality assurance organization. The bachelor's degree should be equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree consisting of four years of study (120 semester credit hours or 180 quarter hours).

An official academic record from all post-secondary education institutions attended is required. This may take some time so start this early in your application process.

Graduate Admissions at University of Idaho uses a variety of sources to determine equivalencies. It is important to note that the list of equivalencies below is not complete, but rather represents the most common credentials we receive from each country.

Transferring Internationally earned credits requires a course-by-course professional credential evaluation.

You can then mail this to the Graduate Admissions Office. Do not open the envelope or break the official seal.
