Graduate Students

International students applying to any graduate program at Marist must:

  • submit an application for admission by June 30 for the Fall semester or November 15 for the Spring semester with a $50 (US) non-refundable processing fee

  • provide an official evaluation of all foreign academic credentials (examination results and grade reports) that correspond to a bachelor's degree or its equivalent in the United States. Not required for Information Systems and Software Development applicants from India or Nepal.

  • Official Graduate Record Exam (GRE) scores (reporting code 2400) required for Information Systems and Software Development applicants

  • submit a minimum score of 550 on the paper based TOEFL exam or a 213 on the Computer based TOEFL or an 80 on the Internet based TOEFL exam. Students may choose to submit a minimum score of 6.5 (Information Systems applicants) or 6.0 (Software Development applicants) on the IELTS exam in lieu of the TOEFL. All test scores must come directly from that Testing Service to Graduate Admissions at Marist College. Note: the Marist report code is 2400. Copies of test scores will delay the admission process since an I20 will not be issued without official documents.
