Application Requirements

You are considered an international applicant if any of your academic credentials come from a school outside of the United States, or if you are not a U.S. citizen.

The undergraduate and graduate applications for domestic and international students are the same. However, international applicants have some additional forms required. Please see the Checklist for International Applicants.

Note: If you have already attended EMU and did NOT complete the degree program you were working on, you may need to re-enroll rather than re-apply. Please read the information about re-enrolling at EMU before completing an application.

Should you apply as a graduate or an undergraduate at EMU?
