Transcripts should be accompanied by official English translations if they are in another language. Translations should be done through a reputable and accredited translation service. Transcripts will need to be evaluated if issued from a country where the education system is different from the U.S. such as a three year bachelor’s degree. We accept evaluations from World Education Service (WES) and also from evaluators that are a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES). Be sure to request a detailed evaluation that includes all course titles, credit hours, grades, recommended United States degree equivalency, grade-point average (GPA), and date of degree conferral. Verified transcripts and evaluations should then be forwarded to Marxe admissions.

A bachelor’s degree or equivalent is required.
