To be considered for graduate programs at Western, you must hold the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor’s degree. You must have earned the degree at an institution recognized and approved to award such credentials. Western does not admit international students as non-degree-seeking students.

International graduate students seeking admission to any of Western’s graduate programs must submit an online application, official degree-conferring university transcript(s) or an official course-by-course credential evaluation, and specific program requirements. All documents in a language other than English must be accompanied by certified English translations.

1. Complete Western’s Online Application or the Common Application.
2. Request your official high school transcript to be sent to Western. Your official transcript can be mailed, faxed, emailed or sent through an electronic service (Parchment, Naviance, e-scrip, etc.)
3. Submit the $30 application fee. This can be paid online with the application or by calling the Cashier’s Office at 970.943.3003.
4. Optional for 2022 semesters: Send your official ACT and/or SAT test scores to Western (ACT code: 0536, SAT code: 4946).

If you are submitting an application via the Common Application, self-reported information on the Common Application must be verified by official high school transcript(s) and ACT and/or SAT scores for a student to be considered for admission at Western. Please arrange to have those official documents sent to Western’s Admissions Office.
