International education systems vary around the world and therefore our admissions committee needs to understand the comparability of international qualifications with U.S. degrees. If you have a degree from another country you may need to submit an international credential evaluation, depending on the graduate program you apply for.

Three-year Bachelor’s Degrees: We generally accept three-year Bachelor’s degrees from the following countries: Australia, Bahamas (University of West Indies only), Canada, European Union members, India, Israel, and United Kingdom (excluding Scotland). A credential evaluation may still be required. Please refer to the table below.`

International applicants seeking a student visa to study in the U.S. will need to complete the Request for Certificate of Eligibility and the Declaration and Certification of Finances. You can view a copy of the I-20 application and get a list of all the documents needed on the Baruch’s I-20 Process website.

To obtain a student visa for full-time study, you must demonstrate the ability to pay for your entire first year of study in the U.S. You also will be required to indicate the source(s) of funding for your second year. Even if you cannot fully support your first year, please indicate your sources of partial funding. For visa purposes, you should not include potential merit scholarships or loans as sources of funding. However, international students are considered for merit scholarships.
