Welcome
Thank you for your interest in joining our program. Our student body is highly diverse, with a wide variety of international students, many from Asia, Africa, and Europe.

If you have questions after you have read the Bulletin, see the contact information on page 1.
Transcript Evaluation
Applications to Touro Graduate School of Technology from students who have studied outside of the United States can only be processed after the school receives the following two documents:
- An original transcript (mark sheet) must be sent to Touro Graduate School of Technology directly from the issuing school. Transcripts issued to students are not considered official documents. Additionally, if your transcript (mark sheet) is in a language other than English, you must provide a certified translation of that transcript.
- A course-by-course educational credential evaluation is usually required to certify academic work completed outside the US. This should be sent directly to the School by a recognized accreditation service. Copies of previous evaluations are not acceptable.
We recommend using SpanTran Educational Services. Students applying to Touro get discounted pricing from SpanTran for its services, use application code "NYTOURGR2".
