What international applicants need to know

Georgia Tech considers you an international applicant if you are neither a U.S. citizen nor a U.S. permanent resident, regardless of where in the world you live.

The admissions criteria applied in evaluating international applicants are essentially the same as those for U.S. citizens. All application materials, including transcripts and recommendations, must be submitted online and in English. You may also be required to submit an official Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score.

International and domestic candidates that have relocated to the state of Georgia for purposes of full-time employment, as well as their spouses, may qualify for a waiver of the non-Georgia resident portion of tuition through the Economic Advantage Program. Visit the Financing Your Evening MBA page for more details.

We strongly encourage all international applicants to submit application materials early to expedite the admissions process and to confirm eligibility for the Economic Advantage Program.

Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)

Applicants must submit a valid TOEFL score if:

They are not citizens or permanent residents of the United States
Their native language is not English
They have not successfully completed a year of college/university level study in the United States or another country where English is the primary/official language, such as Australia or United Kingdom.

TOEFL scores are valid for two years and mininum score requirements are:

100 on TOEFL Internet-based test (iBT)

600 on TOEFL Paper-based test (PBT)

For more information about these tests visit the ETS official TOEFL Website

Transcripts

All applicants to the MBA Program must hold a U.S. bachelor's degree or equivalent to be considered for admission. A three-year degree is not equivalent to the U.S. bachelor's degree. Neither professional designations nor work experience will count toward the fourth year of study. We're unable to make exceptions to this policy.

The Georgia Tech Graduate Admissions Office does not accept any private evaluation of academic documents. Official transcripts and degree documents must be submitted at the time of application and the Georgia Tech Graduate Admissions Office will evaluate them.

The Georgia Tech Graduate Admissions Office requires the following documents from international applicants:

Official Native Language Transcripts
Official English Translation of the Native Language Transcript
Official Native Language Degree Documents
Official English Translation of the Native Language Degree Documents
