International Applicants
International applicants are required to provide a number of specific items. Most of these are referenced in the online application, but the following serves as a quick reference guide.
Transcripts and Degree Requirements
The ASU Graduate College requires that international transcripts 
be designated as official and be submitted in their original language with an English translation.
Individuals who have completed a three-year degree with no additional coursework typically do not qualify as having an equivalent U.S. bachelor's degree. Generally, for a three-year bachelor’s degree to be equivalent it must be combined with the following:
- At least one year of study toward a two-year degree program such as an M.S., M.A., M.Com., MBA or LLB.
- Any one-year diploma in the same field of study such as B.Ed., M.A., M.S., or M.Phil.
- A second bachelor's degree.
The ASU Graduate College has ultimate responsibility for transcript evaluation and approval of degree equivalency.
Grade Point Averages
The ASU Graduate College provides detailed instructions on grade point average conversions for international applicants. The GPA is requested during completion of the online application.
English Language Proficiency
Most international applicants are required to submit evidence of English language proficiency, particularly if English is not your first language. Review details regarding English language proficiency.
Interviews
The W. P. Carey MBA – Full-time Program requires an interview for admission. International applicants usually elect to complete the required interview via webcam. Additional instructions will be provided to applicants who have submitted an application and are invited to interview.
Application Fee
The application fee for international students is $80 and may be paid online at the time of application submission.
