International Students

In addition to the general application requirements, international students are required to submit the following:

1. TOEFL Exam results: required if English is not an applicant's native language. Minimum score required: 580 paper exam or 237 computerized exam or 92 internet based exam. The College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) administers the TOEFL exam. International students should register for the exam at the earliest possible test date available. Visit the TOEFL web site for more information.
2. All applicants with international transcripts are required to submit an original transcript, a certified English language translation, and a Course-By-Course Evaluation Report with their supporting materials. These course-by-course reports are prepared by World Education Services (www.wes.org), our preferred provider, or another member of the National Association of Credit Evaluation Services (NACES). We recommend that you start the evaluation process, including submission of all required documents to WES (or another provider), as early as possible, in order to ensure the timely completion of your evaluation report. Request that your report be sent to Parsons The New School for Design, University Admissions, 79 Fifth Avenue, 5th Floor, New York, NY 10003. (If you apply online, search for “New School Parsons" when requesting our institution.) If another provider is unable to send the report directly to the school, please collect and send the evaluation report along with a Materials Cover Sheet.
3. Read all requirements carefully. Only send the materials requested for the program to which you are applying.

You are not required to present any support documentation unless you are accepted into one of the degree programs. We request that you do not send such documentation prior to your acceptance.

Please see Application Procedures for more information.
