Entry Requirements
The minimum requirement for admission to a graduate program is the completion of a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution in the United States or the completion of education that the University of Pittsburgh deems comparable to a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution in the United States.
Applicants are required to submit official original academic credentials. Official original academic credentials that are issued in a language other than English must be accompanied by a certified English translation. In cases where the transcript (grade report, academic record, examination results, mark sheet) does not attest to the awarding of a degree or an academic qualification, a certified copy of the original certificate or diploma awarding the degree or qualification must also be submitted. Certificates or diplomas that are issued in a language other than English must be accompanied by a certified English translation.

We require applicants to answer a short answer question. If you have not submitted your answer yet, then you may submit your response online or via email at [email protected]. Please be sure to include your full name exactly as it appears on your passport, date of birth, and student ID (if known) in your email.
Please submit one of the following:
- Self-Reported Academic Record (SRAR). We encourage you to complete the SRAR rather than sending a transcript to improve application processing time. Please note that we will compare your SRAR to your official high school transcript if you enroll at Pitt. Accuracy in completing the SRAR is very important. Discrepancies and misrepresentations could result in the Admissions Committee revoking your admissions decision.
- Original or certified, official secondary school records from grades 9-11 (transcripts, marksheets, certificates, examination results, etc.) and any national/state examination results required in your country. You will also need to send literal translations of your records if they are not in English. If your secondary record only includes grades 10-12, please submit the third year of your middle school transcript. Note: Students may be required to complete a transcript evaluation.
- If you have a General Education Diploma (GED) email the Admissions Office [email protected] about your options. In some cases the GED is not accepted.
We’re a test-friendly institution, which means that we will take your highest ACT composite score and your highest SAT superscore. We don’t require the SAT Essay or ACT Writing scores. Your official results should be sent by the testing agency directly to the University of Pittsburgh using the appropriate code number: SAT: 2927 or ACT: 3734
It is important that you review the guidelines and exceptions for these exams because there are some instances where the TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo exam requirement may be waived. Institutional TOEFL code for the University of Pittsburgh: 2927
First-year students who have taken university credits should also submit:
- Official post-secondary records and, if they are in a language other than English, literal, translated versions of them, and official evaluation of those credits (see step 3) and an;
- Official course catalog and/or course syllabi for all courses completed at a college or university outside of the U.S. or complete course descriptions for the courses, modules, and subjects that you have completed and plan to complete. If your records and/or course catalog or course syllabi are written in a language other than English, an English translation must be submitted. Submit this to the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid. Note: The University of Pittsburgh does not accept or recognize transfer credit evaluations done by other institutions or private credential evaluation services.
