In addition to the MBA in Professional Accounting application checklist, international applicants should be aware of these special instructions below. Due to the additional documentation required, please start the admissions process as soon as possible.
Transcripts
MBA in Professional Accounting applicants do not need to have their transcripts evaluated unless advised by the Rutgers Business School Admissions Committee. All post-secondary transcripts, marksheets, examination results, diplomas, and degrees must be original or certified copies and be mailed to the Office of Graduate Admissions. If not issued in English, a translation must be provided from a professional translation agency.
Selected three-year Indian bachelor’s degrees may be considered equivalent to a U.S. bachelor degree without an evaluation as long as they have been earned in Division I/First Class and the awarding institution is currently accredited by India’s National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) with a letter grade of “A” or better. Using the above standards will allow you to know if you are eligible to apply to the graduate programs at Rutgers Business School.

We will accept the TOEFL, IELTS, PTE Academic, or Duolingo test if English is not the official language in your country.
