IMPORTANT NOTICE: FSU now requires a credential evaluation for Fall 2024 applicants and beyond who have degrees from a non-U.S. institution. International and domestic applicants with degrees earned from international institutions must submit their official transcripts through a NACES approved evaluator for transcripts from a non-U.S. institution. SpanTran has created a custom application for FSU that will make sure you select the right kind of evaluation at a discounted rate.
See the “Transcript Requirement” section on The Graduate School website for detailed information on University transcript requirements.
