加州大學(xué)伯克利分校是美國(guó)著名的公立大學(xué),那么加州伯克利分校研究生申請(qǐng)條件有哪些呢?下面本站小編從加州大學(xué)官網(wǎng)為大家整理了相關(guān)信息,希望對(duì)大家有所幫助。
admission criteria
berkeley offers admission to applicants who appear to have the highest potential for graduate study and who, with the benefit of a graduate education, are the most likely to contribute substantially to their academic or professional fields through teaching, research, or professional practice.
the minimum graduate admission requirements are: (1) a bachelor’s degree or recognized equivalent from an accredited institution; (2) a satisfactory scholastic average, usually a minimum grade-point average (gpa) of 3.0 (b) on a 4.0 scale; and (3) enough undergraduate training to do graduate work in your chosen field. satisfying minimal standards, however, does not guarantee your admission, since the number of qualified applicants far exceeds the number of places available. as a result, many well-qualified applicants cannot be accommodated.
admission decisions are based on departmental review, using a combination of factors, including academic degrees and records, the statement of purpose, letters of recommendation, test scores, and relevant work experience. berkeley also considers the appropriateness of your goals to the degree program in which you are interested and to the research interests of the program’s faculty. in addition, consideration may be given as to how your background and life experience would contribute significantly to an educationally beneficial mix of students
many departments and groups have additional requirements, including the gre, toefl score minimums, gpa minimums, and number of copies of official academic records that must be submitted. please check the information provided by the department for additional requirements.
minimum degree requirements and required records of academic work
domestic applicants
you must hold or expect to hold prior to the beginning of classes a bachelor’s degree from a u.s. school accredited by one of the regional accrediting agencies.
required records: upload unofficial transcripts with the application for the departmental initial review. official transcripts of all college-level work will be required if admitted. official transcripts must be in sealed envelopes as issued by the school(s) you have attended. request a current transcript from every post-secondary school that you have attended, including community colleges, summer sessions, and extension programs.
if you have attended berkeley, you must request an official transcript. we cannot obtain one on your behalf. you may order your transcripts by mail from the office of the registrar, attention transcripts, 120 sproul hall, university of california, berkeley, ca 94720-5404, or online from the registrar’s website. provide your full name, all names used while attending berkeley, your date of birth, social security number (last four digits are acceptable), dates of attendance, and the address to which you would like the transcript(s) sent. you must sign and date your request, specify rush or regular service, and include a check or money order payable to the university of california regents. credit cards are only accepted if you order your transcripts online. faxed orders are not accepted.
international applicants
graduates of recognized academic institutions outside the united states should hold a degree equivalent to a u.s. bachelors degree. equivalency is determined by international evaluators in the graduate admissions office.
required records: upload unofficial transcripts with the application for the departmental initial reiew. official transcripts or academic records for all university-level studies you have completed, at u.s. institutions and abroad will be required if admitted. if your academic records do not include official evidence of the award of your degree, you must also submit additional documents that verify its award. for information about the documents required for an initial review of your application, contact the department or program to which you are applying.
academic records should be issued in their original languages accompanied by english translations (usually prepared by your university or governmental agency, unless the institution issues original documents in english). in general, records or transcripts must be issued by the school and include the school’s stamp or embossed seal and the signature of the authorizing official. for more detailed information on acceptable documents, please contact graduate admissions.
in english translations, degree names and grades should be transliterated, not converted into english words or the u.s. grades of a-f. if you must obtain a translation while in the united states, versions prepared by certified members of the american translators association are acceptable.
evidence of english language proficiency
all applicants from countries in which the official language is not english are required to submit official evidence of english language proficiency. this requirement applies to applicants from bangladesh, nepal, india, pakistan, latin america, the middle east, israel, the people’s republic of china, taiwan, japan, korea, southeast asia, most european countries, and non-english-speaking countries in africa.
if you have completed at least one year of full-time academic course work with grades of b or better in residence at a u.s. university, you do not need to take a standardized test. instead, you must submit an official transcript from the u.s. university.
there are two standardized tests you may take: the test of english as a foreign language (toefl), and the international english language testing system (ielts).
test of english as a foreign language (toefl)
toefl is administered by the educational testing service. you can obtain detailed information from the toefl website, or contact toefl services, educational testing service, p.o. box 6151, princeton, nj 08541-6151, (609) 771-7100. copies of the toefl bulletin are also available at u.s. educational commissions and foundations, binational centers, and private organizations such as the institute of international education (iie).
to schedule an appointment for the computer-based test (cbt) in the united states or canada, call 800-go-toefl.
we will only accept toefl tests administered by the educational testing service and sent to us directly by the toefl office. tests taken before june 2010 will not be accepted even if your score was reported to berkeley. the institution code for berkeley is 4833. you may submit a photocopy of the examinee’s score report for review purposes only, but this is not a substitute for an official score report.
for purposes of admission, your most recent score must be at least 570 for the paper-and-pencil test, at least 230 for the computer-based test, or at least 68 for the internet-based test (ibt). please contact individual academic departments for more information, as they may choose to require a higher score.
the ibt emphasizes integrated skills so its format and scoring are different from the cbt or the paper version of the toefl. please plan to take the toefl as soon as possible, regardless of the test’s format, to avoid delays in the review of your application.
international english language testing system (ielts)
as an exception, you can submit scores from the academic modules of the international english language testing system (ielts), which is jointly managed by the british council, idp:ielts australia, and the university of cambridge esol examinations.
you are responsible for providing us with an official test report form (trf) of your ielts. remember to order the trf when you register to take the test.
tests taken before june 2010 will not be accepted by graduate admissions. your most recent overall band score must be at least 7 on a 9-point scale.
to register for the ielts, consult the ielts website to locate the office of the test center where you plan to take the test.
graduate record examination (gre)
most departments, schools, and groups require applicants to take a standardized test such as the general test of the gre, a subject test of the gre, the gmat, mcat, oat, or lsat. consult the department to which you are applying for its requirements. to send an official score to berkeley, list the institution code assigned by the educational testing service (ets) for berkeley, 4833. in addition, list the ets code for the department to which you are applying. if more than one department code might be appropriate, check the department’s instructions on which code to use.
dates and information for computer-based testing (cbt) may be obtained by contacting the educational testing service (ets) at the address below, by calling 1-800-gre-call, or by consulting the gre website.
applications for the gre can be obtained from the educational testing service, box 6000, princeton, nj 08541-6000, (609) 771-7670, or the gre website.
domestic candidates from families with extremely low incomes may qualify for a waiver of gre test fees. consult your undergraduate financial aid office to determine whether your institution participates in the gre fee waiver program and whether you qualify. fee waivers are not available directly from the educational testing service or from the graduate division.
letters of recommendation
applicants who use the online application should check to see if their program accepts online recommendations. applicants submitting paper recommendations should follow the instructions below.
at least three letters of recommendation are required. please print your name and the department to which you are applying clearly at the top of the forms (letter of recommendation). use departmental recommendation forms instead of "the graduate application letter of recommendation form" if instructed to do so by the department.
you are responsible for forwarding these forms to your recommenders. all letters of recommendation should be submitted directly to the department to which you are applying. some departments have early deadlines for fellowship applicants. be sure to inform your recommenders of the department’s deadline.
your recommenders are asked to give their personal impressions of your intellectual ability, your aptitude in research or professional skills, your character, and the quality of your previous work and potential for future productive scholarship.
applicants may waive the right to inspect their letters of recommendation on a voluntary basis. to waive access to your letters, complete the waiver section of the letter of recommendation.
the graduate division may verify the authenticity of academic letters of recommendation with the school or recommender.
application fee
you must submit an application fee when you apply. the application fee is not refundable. if you are a u.s. citizen or current permanent resident, the application fee is $80; for all others, the fee is $100.
fee waiver: u.s. citizens or permanent residents who can demonstrate financial need are eligible to apply for a waiver of the application fee.
