Students applying to graduate programs must hold a diploma from a four-year undergraduate program. Official transcripts should be sent by the institution to [email protected].

If you completed your undergraduate program outside of the United States, please have your transcripts evaluated by a foreign credential evaluation company.

You must select a course-by-course evaluation that includes GPA calculation and credit conversion. International transcript evaluations must be received directly from the issuing organization before an admittance decision can be made. If you choose to submit an evaluation before the completion of your final courses at your current institution, you must submit a second evaluation that includes all courses taken and your final grades.

We accept international transcript evaluations from World Education Services, The Evaluation Company, or another NACES-approved foreign credential evaluation service. Students who request an evaluation through BJU’s custom portal with The Evaluation Company will receive a discount.
