International Graduate Student Admission

ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS:
In addition to the documents required for admission to a program, international students must also submit the
following as part of their applications:

Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) official score (unless the student has earned a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution of higher education in the United States). A minimum paper-based score of 550, or the equivalent computer-based score of 213, is required. This requirement may be waived with the approval of the Graduate Dean.

Official scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or General Management Admission Test (GMAT), depending upon the program to which the student is applying. (Students seeking admission to the Master of Business Administration program or the Master of Accountancy program must submit GMAT scores. All other international students must submit GRE scores.) Generally, GRE and GMAT scores will not be accepted if more than five years old. This recency requirement may be waived, e.g., if GRE records are on file from an earlier application, with the approval of the Graduate Dean.

Notarized Affidavit of Support (or I-34 form) certifying ability to finance study in the U.S. The Affidavit of Support must be completed with U.S. currency figures only.

Approved evaluation of credentials (if appropriate).

Copy of current visa. (For international applicants residing in the U. S.)

Copies of transcripts and diplomas from international colleges and universities.

In addition, all international students are required to be covered by The Texas A&M University System’s Student Health Insurance Plan or to have equivalent insurance coverage. For information, contact the International Student Advisor in the Office of Admissions and Records. International students are required prior to the first day of classes or move-in to campus housing, whichever occurs first, to provide documentation from a U.S. health care provider of a negative TB skin test (Mantoux tuberculin test) or negative chest X-ray. The report should be submitted directly to the University Health Center. In accordance with the guidelines from the Center for Disease Control, USA, a skin test is required even if the student has had a BCG (Bacille Calmette-Guerin) vaccine. A chest x-ray is recommended for persons with a history of positive TB skin tests.
