International degree equivalency
All graduate school international applicants must satisfy the following criteria to be considered for graduate admission to University of Idaho:
- Hold a bachelor's degree from a college or university accredited by a recognized accrediting body, ministry of education or official quality assurance organization. The degree must be equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree, requiring four years of study (120 semester credit hours or 180 quarter hours).
- An official academic record from all post-secondary education institutions attended is required. This may take some time so start this early in your application process.
University of Idaho Graduate Admissions uses multiple sources to determine degree equivalencies. The list below highlights the most common credentials received from each country and is not intended to be comprehensive.
Transferring internationally-earned credits requires a course-by-course professional credential evaluation.
Note: Failure to adhere to these requirements could delay your evaluation and/or admission to University of Idaho.
Do not send your original documents unless specifically requested by the Graduate Admissions Office.

Our information does not always coincide with all respected evaluation agencies. Oftentimes, those agencies evaluate credentials for employment, professional licensing and immigration concerns, while we evaluate credentials exclusively for their education placement at this institution. There are instances when applicants would like to have their educational credentials evaluated by an outside authority. Reasons for outside review can include, but are not limited to, potential transfer credits and wish to expedite the processing of an application file.
