Georgian International University welcomes international students from foreign universities of recognized standing. Applicants may be admitted with such advanced credits as the previous record may warrant. Evaluation of undergraduate and graduate credits at Georgian International University is a highly selective process. It rests entirely on the Graduate Committee’s independent judgment of the applicant’s qualifications.

If an international student has not previously attended an accredited English-speaking college or university, he/she will be required to take the TOEFL and obtain a score of at least 61 on the Internet-based test (IBT) or 173 on the computer-based test (CBT), minimum IELTS score of Band 5.5 or greater, or the successful completion of 12 credit hours from an accredited American institution.

Applicants, or the institution they attended, should send transcript(s) of their academic records to the Office of Admissions at Georgian International University (mailing address provided below) for the thorough evaluation. The fee for transcript evaluation is $350.00 (three hundred fifty) payable by a U.S. check, money order or bank wire to Georgian International University. For bank wire information please contact the Office of Bursar, Tel: 1-302-366-0505, press option 3. Our Office of Admissions in some cases may employ services of an independent institution which will make a recommendation to the Office of Admissions and/or Graduate Committee regarding the standards of credits and the institutions attended.
