申请材料清单

1.Application for admission

2.Application-processing fee

International applicants = $100 for the first major, $40 for the second major and $30 for the third major

3.Transcripts

Applicants should submit unofficial transcripts from all institutions attended as part of the online application. Unofficial transcripts not submitted as part of the online application can be emailed to gradadm@uga.edu. Official transcripts are not required during the review process and will only be required for applicants who are offered admission. Do not mail official transcripts until offered admission.

If offered admission, applicants must submit one official (certified) copy of academic records from each institution of higher education that the applicant has attended to the Graduate School. Official documents must bear an original certification of the appropriate school official or office. Photocopies of certified documents are not acceptable. Coursework completed at one institution but listed on the record of a second institution is not acceptable. A separate copy of the record from the first institution is required.

The records must contain the following information

Subjects Studied

Marks (grades) awarded

Class rank (if available)

If the records do not clearly indicate the subjects studied, syllabi of the courses of study must be included as part of the records. Syllabi written in English by the applicant are acceptable.

If the title of the degree and graduation date (month and year) are not indicated on the transcript, separate proof of degree (e.g., an official copy of the diploma) must also be submitted.

If the original language of the record is not English, a certified translation in English must be attached to the original. Any translated record should be a literal and not an interpretive translation.

The University reserves the right to require the receipt of official transcripts directly from the foreign institution. Additional information regarding academic credentials from selected countries may be viewed on the Country-Specific Academic Credentials and Requirements for Admission to the University of Georgia page of our website. In the list, the “bachelor’s equivalency” refers to the minimum degree(s) required and considered to be equivalent to the U.S. bachelor’s degree.

4.Entrance test scores

Minimum TOEFL score requirement: overall score of 80 with at least 20 on speaking and writing

Minimum IELTS score requirement: overall band-width of 6.5, with no single band (score) below 6.0.

Applicants whose primary language is not English must submit official TOEFL or IELTS scores that are not more than two years old. Applicants who have received degrees from accredited institutions in the U.S. or from institutions in countries where English is the primary language (e.g., the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand) usually are not required to submit the TOEFL (or IELTS) scores. If such an applicant received the degree more than two years prior to application to the Graduate School and has been residing/working in a country where the primary language is not English, he or she must submit current scores. Students who are currently enrolled and have been enrolled at least one year at a regionally accredited U.S. institution, may have the English language proficiency requirement waived, if their work shows a strong quality of performance. Some departments may require the TOEFL (or IELTS) regardless of previous educational experience.
