InternationalTranscripts
Official transcripts from institutions outside of the U.S. are required to be evaluated by amember of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES). Applicants arerequired to have an official course-by-course evaluation completed.The course-by-courseevaluation will serve as the official transcript for studies completed outside of the U.S.
Northwestern University School of Professional Studies will only accept official course-by-course evaluations if the evaluation explicitly indicates that the individual's course of study isthe U.S.equivalent of a bachelor's degree (or master's degree).
Specifically, if the degree requirement for admission is a conferred bachelor's degree, thecourse-by-course evaluation must read equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree. lf the degreerequirement for admission is a conferred master's degree, the course-by-course evaluationmust read equivalent to a U.S. master's degree. Additionally, an applicant that has earned a U.Smaster's degree and has a bachelor's degree from outside of the U.S. must still submit anofficial course by course evaluation that indicates that the applicant has the equivalent to aU.S.bachelor's degree.
Applicants are also required to ensure that the language of instruction is included in thecourse-by-course evaluation.
NACES approved evaluation companies, ECE and Educational Perspectives, are highlyrecommended by Northwestern University School of Professional Studies.
Additional instructions for international applicants are listed below.

适宜学生

MALS学生将学习人文和社会科学的跨学科课程,接触有影响力的学术论点和方法,并在他们自己设计的学习课程中培养深厚的专业知识。
核心课程将让学生了解专业人士如何在公共人文、非营利组织和文化机构中运用他们的文科培训。选修课程将涵盖历史、文学、电影和宗教研究等学科,让学生磨练批判性思维、辩论和沟通能力。而实习将让他们将这些技能应用于更广泛的社区。
在最后的Capstone课程中,学生将与西北大学的教职员工密切合作,完成一份原创的书面学术论文,或与该教职员工顾问共同设计的面向公众的项目。论文非常适合为博士申请生成写作样本,非常适合正在考虑申请博士学位的应届毕业生。也同样适合那些渴望重新回到学术氛围的专业人士。
