Additional Information About Required Documents

Our Admissions Committee accepts unofficial copies of transcripts and test scores for the sole purpose of rendering an admissions decision.

Transcripts:
Applicants must hold the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree to be eligible for the program. (Note: Most international three-year degrees meet this requirement.)​
  • Be sure your transcripts include all coursework taken and the grades received for each course, as well as any transcript instructions or descriptions provided by the institution.  Transcripts for study abroad programs or transfer credits are not required if the course titles, grades and credit hours are included on the transcript of the degree-granting institution.  International students must submit transcripts in the original language and English translation.

Standardized Tests:
If you are a current WashU student, please reach out to us at OlinGradAdmissions@wustl.edu for more information.

  • GMAT/GRE:
    We require either a GMAT or GRE score report and do not offer test waivers for our specialized master’s programs. We do not have a preference of one test over the other.
    For 2023 applicants, we can accept the online versions of the GMAT and GRE.
    Note: Test scores must be released when you submit your application.


  • TOEFL or IELTS:
    All international applicants (non-U.S. citizens or non-U.S. permanent residents) whose native language is not English must take either the TOEFL or IELTS.
