Graduate Admission | Heidelberg University

How to Apply

Graduate study at Heidelberg will push you to take the foundational knowledge you gained as an undergraduate to the next level. You’ll work closely with faculty to explore new frontiers in your discipline and earn experience that will prepare for life and leadership in an increasingly interconnected world.

Taking the next step in your education requires commitment, dedication, and a passion for your discipline. We are excited you're taking that step with us.

Transcripts Information

You must submit your undergraduate and any relevant graduate transcripts directly from the institution to Heidelberg. Students who apply with less than the GPA requirement may be conditionally admitted at the discretion of the director. International applicants will not need to submit original transcripts as they are submitted with the NACES evaluation.

Transcripts will only be accepted from a college or university accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools Higher Learning Commission or other regional accrediting commissions which have been recognized by the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).
