International Applicants

We are proud of our rich diversity. Regardless of where around the world you reside, you can look forward to an extraordinary experience at Keck Graduate Institute. To help make your application process easier to process, here is some information specific to international students:

Submitting International Transcripts

Most of the KGI degree programs require unofficial transcripts of all the schools you attended to be submitted with your application. When you are admitted to KGI, you will need to submit official final transcripts, not photocopies, which bear the seal and signature of the Registrar for the issuing institution.

Instructions on how to submit your transcripts, including required deadlines, will be included with your official offer of admission to KGI.

Resources for International Students

KGI degree and certificate programs receive applications from students around the world. While each program has its own requirements, here are some resources and tools to help you as you apply to and attend KGI. If you need help throughout the process, our dedicated international advisor is available to help you.

English Language Proficiency and Requirements

If your primary language is not English, you must certify that you are proficient in English when you submit your application. This requirement applies to anyone who applies to KGI, regardless of citizenship status.

As part of your application, you will be asked to submit valid scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Academic. TOEFL iBT Home Edition, ELTS Online, and IELTS Indicator test scores can count toward meeting current KGI English language requirements.

Please remember that both TOEFL and IELTS scores are valid for only two years.

Visa Procedures, Important Forms, and Tools

Whether you are a new student or already enrolled at KGI, we have tools and information to help you throughout the visa process.
