Important Information for Applicants Holding Degrees from Outside the United States

The priority application deadline for international applicants is March 15th; however, applications are accepted through June 1st. Applicants needing additional time to complete the process should contact their Admissions Counselor to inquire about specific arrangements.

As part of our admissions process, The Graduate Admissions Office of the Fox School of Business and Management will submit your academic credentials to our Graduate School for GPA evaluation only if your application form, official transcripts/yearly mark sheets, and official TOEFL scores, if necessary, are postmarked to this office by the deadlines.

Please note that a credential evaluation done internally can take approximately one month.  If you will be using the credential evaluation service offered by Temple University, please allow for additional processing time.

Applications or official transcripts/yearly mark sheets and TOEFL scores which are postmarked after the deadlines will not be considered for admission unless the applicant provides an official, independent course by course academic evaluation from one of the services listed below and copies of the transcripts/mark sheets. Applicants who cannot meet this deadline can defer their application to a subsequent semester.

In concurrent with the new China policy, as of Fall 2010, Temple University requires that all transcripts, and diploma and degree certificates be evaluated by one of the Ministry-authorized offices below:
