International Applicants

Foreign Citizens

Urban Teachers can only accept applicants who are currently authorized to work in the United States and possess a ten-year visa or Permanent Resident Card (Green Card). We are unable to sponsor any type of employment or education Visa. Our application is open to U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents only.  

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 may need to have their transcript evaluated and translated into English by a recognized agency such as World Education Services (wes.org), the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (aacrao.org) or the Education Credential Evaluators (ece.org) before being considered.  This transcript evaluation would require a course-by-course evaluation rather than a general degree comparison. For questions, contact admissions@urbanteachers.org.

English as a Second Language

For applicants whose native language is not English, an official copy of your score report from the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) may be required.  In order to ensure an applicant’s ability to participate successfully in Urban Teachers’ curriculum, minimum score requirements must be met for admission. The required minimum for the TOEFL test are as follows: 600 (paper-based) or 100 (internet based). (If you received your undergraduate degree from a college or university in the U.S. or U.S. Territory where the coursework was taught in English, this condition may be waived.)  For questions, please contact Admissions at admissions@urbanteachers.org.
