International Student Admission

In addition to meeting all other MBA-PM admission requirements, international students who wish to apply for admission to the MBA-PM Program must hold a U.S. bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college or university, or an equivalent degree from another country as determined by the Office of Admissions.

Degree Equivalency

  • To inquire about your international degree equivalency, scan and email a copy of your marks sheets/transcripts and diploma, along with your request to have your degree reviewed, to mba-pm@uiowa.edu.
  • Before you can be reviewed for PreMBA status or admission, the Office of International Admissions requires you to submit your official mark sheets (transcripts) and diploma, as well as a translated copy if the original is not in English. The originals will be needed for review but will be returned to you.

Health Insurance Requirement

International students enrolled in classes at the University of Iowa are also required to have health insurance. See more information on this requirement.

Visas

The most common type of visa classification for our students is an H-1B visa status. However, if you are here on a different visa type, you may still be eligible for admission. The MBA-PM is a part-time program, and as such does not admit students who hold a visa that requires enrollment as a full-time student. If you would like to receive more personalized answers regarding your particular visa status, please contact an MBA-PM program representative.
