International Admission Requirements and How to Apply for International Admission
Please use your name as it appears on your passport on your application and on all other communication with Â鶹ÊÓƵ.
1. Submit Application
All international graduate applicants should submit online applications through the Apply Texas system. Graduate applicants must select the International Graduate Application. Courses for this program are offered fully online, and therefore residency in the U.S. is not required to complete the program.
If you are an international applicant interested in an online program, please note that admission to this, or any other fully online program, does not fulfill the academic requirements to apply for an F-1 or J-1 visa. You will not be eligible to travel to the U.S. or to obtain a visa upon admission to an online program.
2. Submit Academic Records
International Academic Records
Graduate applicants must have an official report of course-by-course evaluated transcripts of all post-secondary work from outside the United States sent to Â鶹ÊÓƵ directly from one of the evaluating agencies listed in the previous link.
Graduate students applying to colleges outside of Engineering and Arts and Sciences and enroll at Â鶹ÊÓƵ will be reimbursed the cost of the evaluation up to $200.00.
The Â鶹ÊÓƵ Admissions Office does not evaluate international transcripts internally, so you do not need to send official transcripts to our office. These agencies may deliver your evaluation by email at Â鶹ÊÓƵAdmTran@Lamar.edu, or to the mailing address listed below:

United States Academic Records
Applicants who have attended institutions in the United States must submit official transcripts from each college previously attended. This requirement applies regardless of the length of time in attendance and regardless of whether credit was earned or is desired.
Students will not be considered for admission until all college transcripts are on file. Students must be eligible to re-enter all colleges and universities previously attended.
3. English Proficiency Requirement

Therefore, the only forms of receiving a waiver from taking TOEFL or IELTS are as follows:
- Are from an English waiver country
- Have completed 48 credits of secondary/post-secondary school from an English waiver country
- Have completed 48 credits of secondary/post-secondary school, taught in English
