All graduate applicants are required to have earned a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college, conservatory, or university, and must submit official transcripts from their undergraduate degree. Please do not submit transcripts from high school.
For applicants who attended university outside the U.S. or Canada:
- Transcripts from institutions outside the U.S. or Canada must be submitted via a credential evaluation service, such as SpanTran or Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE). Please request a course-by-course evaluation, and ask to send the report to Berklee College of Music.
- If you have not yet finished your degree, you must submit a credential evaluation report of all your courses/marks received so far. If you are admitted, you will be required to submit proof of graduation from your college/university before attending Berklee.
- Any applicant who is enrolled in or has graduated from an international baccalaureate (IB) diploma school with an IB diploma is exempt from submitting documents through a credential evaluator.
We accept transcripts electronically through Parchment. Please select "Berklee College" to deliver your transcripts. Please note that Berklee's campus is currently closed due to the ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in the U.S. and around the world. Due to this, we are not currently able to accept documents submitted via mail. Anything that is mailed while the institution is closed will be reviewed and processed after we reopen. If you are concerned about submitting your materials via Parchment or email, please contact us for guidance.
