International Students
New Jersey City University welcomes applications from graduates of colleges and universities of other countries. However, it should be noted that most degree programs require either a thesis or a passing grade on a comprehensive exam. These must be written with a command of the English language commensurate with graduate level instruction.
Applicants with degrees from other countries should file their applications well in advance of the April 15th deadline are evaluated for admission once each year for the fall semester only. Due to the individualized attention required to satisfy the diverse demands related to the admission process, only a limited number of international students can be accommodated each year. An applicant with a degree from another country must submit the following to the Office of Graduate Studies by the deadline date of April 15th.
- An application for admission to graduate studies
- Official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended
- Evaluation of transcripts by World Education Services, Inc. P.O. Box 745, Chelsea Station, New York, N.Y. 1-113-0745, showing achievement comparable to a cumulative grade point average of 2.75. However, applicants to the Master of Science in accounting program must have a course-by course evaluation of undergraduate work conducted by Educational Credential Evaluators, Inc. (ECE), showing achievement comparable to a cumulative grade point average of 2.75.
- Two recommendation letters, preferably from previous instructors
- Official scores of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) to include the Test of Written English (TWE)
- An original notarized statement from the parent, guardian or other sponsor, guaranteeing financial support when the F-1 Visa is required.
- Upon acceptance, F-1 Visa holders must register for a full course load (9 credits) each fall and spring, throughout the completion of their studies.
It is expected that the student holding an F-1 Visa will comply, at all times, with the requirements as set down by the United States Immigration Service. Only upon official acceptance into a graduate degree program and receipt of an official, notarized Affidavit of Financial Support, will the applicant be issued the United States INS Form I-20 AB. When the student has completed twelve credits, his/her academic record will be reviewed and, only if an average of "B" or better has been maintained, will the student be permitted to continue a program of study.
