International Applicants

Foreign Citizens

Urban Teachers can only accept applicants who are US Citizens or US Nationals, Permanent Residents, or who have received Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals and have an Employment Authorization Card. We are unable to sponsor any type of employment or education visa.

Foreign Universities

U.S. citizens and permanent residents who studied at universities abroad may apply to our program. Applicants with a degree from a foreign university will be required to have their transcript evaluated course-by-course and translated into English by a recognized agency. 

The only exception would be for degrees or credits earned at a Canadian higher education institution. We do not require an international course-by-course evaluation if (1) the transcript is in English, and (2) the institution is a member of Universities Canada [formerly the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC)] or other accrediting body recognized by the United States Department of Education. 

The following agencies are reporting that they are open and conducting evaluations at this time. Due to extensive delays and service disruptions, we strongly encourage that applicants make arrangements with one of these agencies, and allow a minimum of 8-10 weeks to obtain a completed evaluation.
