Hybrid MBA for International Students Program Overview
Important Transcript/Academic Report Information:
Using the services below, North Carolina Wesleyan University requires you to submit an official English-translated/U.S.- converted transcript to our university.
A transcript is an official academic record of completed courses: secondary and/or post-secondary.
Please mindfully read the following information to learn how you can order a World Education Services (WES) evaluation:
- In order to verify the validity of academic transcripts and credentials earned outside the United States and to assign appropriate transfer credits consistently, all international transcripts must be submitted with a report from World Education Services (WES).
- Obtaining this report is the responsibility of the student for whom the record is requested, and the student assumes the cost of any WES evaluations.
- Transcripts and credentials submitted without a WES report cannot be evaluated by the Registrar and/or counted for transfer credit to North Carolina Wesleyan University. In order to ensure that credits are assigned in a timely fashion, incoming students are urged to order their WES report as soon as possible.
- ALL international F-1 students must provide this evaluation as it provides the most accurate U.S. standard conversions of foreign documents. Not only is the WES evaluation English-translated, it also converts academic reports into U.S. standards.
- Please note that the World Education Services evaluation is a requirement as a transcript submission.
NOTE: Although we share the same name with World Education Services (WES), it is not affiliated with North Carolina Wesleyan University.
