Requirements for International Students Applying to MBA Online

IWU's MBA programs online are perfect for international students looking to learn the essentials in economics, finance, marketing, and management in a learning environment that respects and is inspired by values-based living. For those whose first language is NOT English, you must demonstrate a TOEFL score of at least 550 (CBT=213 or Internet Score=79).

International students looking to apply to one of IWU's MBA programs online must also submit a "course by course" evaluation of their transcripts done by an organization such as Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE). You may learn more about ECE and what it does by visiting their website at http://www.ece.org. Transcript evaluations from organizations other than ECE are also acceptable, but please check with your admissions representative or the Student Services office before using such a service to ensure its evaluation is acceptable.

THIS EVALUATION IS REQUIRED FOR STUDENTS WHO HAVE OBTAINED ANY OF THEIR COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY CREDIT DEGREES FROM INSTITUTIONS LOCATED IN COUNTRIES OTHER THAN THE UNITED STATES.

Graduates of those Canadian universities and colleges accredited by the American Council on Education (ACE) are exempt from this non-U.S. transcript evaluation requirement. Your admissions representative can determine if your college or university is ACE accredited.
