We invite our international applicants to join the GSD admissions team for an information session. The application process is fundamentally the same for both our international and U.S. applicants. There are a few application policies, however, that apply particularly to international applicants, such as the TOEFL requirement and providing translations of transcripts that are not in English. We are hosting this session to address questions that come up each year and to provide an overall review of the process. We’ll also touch briefly on resources available to GSD students.
