International Undergraduate students
Welcome to International Undergraduate Admissions
Eastern Michigan University welcomes students from more than 85 nations around the world. Our international students add to the diversity and richness of our campus community, and we provide an excellent education that is applicable in every corner of the globe. Students who have citizenship outside the U.S. and have attended any high school or college outside the U.S. apply to EMU as an international student.

As of May 1st, 2012, there is a change in how applicants need to submit the educational credentials for your application to EMU:
Educational Perspectives (EP) is the credential evaluation service that provides evaluations of international educational credentials for applicants to EMU. All applicants with non U.S. post secondary credentials, except freshmen, must submit an evaluation of their credentials to EMU. Order the "Detailed" report (course by course evaluation) for $135.00. The evaluation takes five business days from when the EP application, payment, and all of the documents needed for an evaluation, are received at EP. EP will send the evaluation to you and EMU upon completion. Visit EMU's EP site: www.edperspective.org/emich for details on how to submit the evaluation request and obtain an EP application form. This evaluation will be used to determine if you are eligible for admission to EMU, if your non-U.S. institution is recognized, if you are eligible for any transfer credits, and what your U.S.-equivalent Grade Point Average (GPA) is.
