Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU) Graduate Admission & Requirements

• Hold the foreign equivalent of a United States bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution of higher education with an undergraduate grade point average of at least “B.” (On various grading scales this would be at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, 14 on a 20 point scale, 80.0 from Chinese institutions, 1st Class or Division from Indian institutions, and upper 2nd Class Honors from British systems. Other grading systems will be evaluated on receipt of transcripts and certified evaluation of those transcripts.)
• Present certified copies and certified English translations of all academic achievements in each college or university attended. A diploma is not sufficient. The complete record of courses and marks earned and/or record of subjects and examination results must be received. Documents presented by applicants must detail the award of either a bachelor ‘s degree or equivalent or a graduate degree.
• Provide a certified evaluation of foreign transcripts and credentials (course by course with grades). SCSU partners with International Education Evaluations (IEE) and SpanTran to offer credential evaluations that meet the university admission requirements at a discounted rate. Students can also use any NACES member service to request a course-by-course evaluation. Applicants are responsible for payment of fees charged by these agencies.
• For applicants whose native language is not English, one of the following is required: a score of at least 550 written/213 computer/79 or above on Internet based exam on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL); successful completion of ELS 112—English for Academic Purposes; an IELTS score of 6.5 or higher; Duolingo score of 105 or higher; or Pearson Language Test with a score of 53 or higher, or an earned (Associate, Bachelor, Master, or Doctoral) degree from within the United States. Each student should request that his or her score be sent directly to the Southern’s School of Graduate and Professional Studies (Code 3662). TOEFL scores are valid only for two years from expected date of acceptance.
