official transcripts sent. One official transcript must show a bachelor’s degree earned (or proof of
the degree in progress) at a regionally accredited U.S. institution, a rabbinical college or an
internationally recognized institution.
The University of Baltimore does not evaluate foreign transcripts. Applicants who attended a
college or university outside the United States must arrange, at their own expense, to have their
academic records evaluated on a course-by-course basis by a U.S. credentials evaluation service
that is a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services. Certified English
translations must accompany transcripts in a language other than English. The University may
require some applicants to provide additional information, such as syllabi and course
descriptions.
• Proof of English competency for any student for whom English is not their first language: Refer to
the English-language proficiency policy below. Test of English as a Foreign Language scores (or
other English-language exam scores) are considered valid for two years from the test date.

Students applying for a graduate program in business (MBA, M.S.) can submit official scores from the
Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), but the GMAT is optional for all programs. GMAT
information may be obtained from the Graduate Management Admission Council at mba.com. The
University of Baltimore reporting code is DDP-XC-03. To be considered for a GMAT waiver, a student
must have an advanced degree, the combination of an undergraduate grade point average of 3.25 or
higher and five years or more of progressive professional experience, or an undergraduate grade point
average of 3.5 or higher from a college or university with an AACSB-accredited business school. A
personal interview with a graduate business program adviser and a note from the applicant’s direct
supervisor summarizing progressive professional experience may be required, and the student must
complete and submit the GMAT waiver form.
Official Graduate Record Examination (GRE) general test scores must be submitted by applicants to the
master’s program in applied psychology and the doctoral programs in public administration and in
information and interaction design. GRE information may be obtained online from the Educational Testing
Service. The University of Baltimore reporting code is 5810.
Some graduate programs may request test scores from individual applicants to better assess their
potential for successful graduate study.
