• Students who received their baccalaureate degree outside the US must have their transcripts and their undergraduate degree credentialed by an approved agency.
• For students who earned their baccalaureate degree in a university where the medium of instruction was predominantly in a language other than English (that is, from a country where English is NOT the native language), UNK requires English proficiency to be established by the applicant to pursue a graduate (Master’s or Specialist) degree. English proficiency can be established by taking one of the following tests and achieving the minimum scores indicated.
• The option to apply as a pre-MBA student may not be available for international applicants. International students must be fully admitted into the MBA program to receive their I-20. In other words, international applicants must meet ALL the admission requirements when they apply.
• The blended courses in the MBA program allow students to either sit in class during blended meetings or participate through web conference. For international students on a student visa, they are required to participate in class for the blended meetings.
