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.

Equivalent Degree(s)

• Post Graduate Diploma (PGD) following a 3 year Bachelor’s degree
• Bachelor (4 year program)

Note: equivalents are subject to change without notice.

What to Submit

• Clear, legible copies of all final or provisional degree certificates attested by the awarding institution (e.g. Bachelor, Postgraduate Diploma, Master, etc.)
• All individual mark sheets indicating all subjects taken and marks obtained for all years of post-secondary study – issued by the institution responsible for conducting the examinations. (e.g. university or autonomous college)
  • Note: College-issued and attested mark sheets will NOT be accepted unless from an autonomous college
