As someone that only has a roughly BS equivalent degree: I checked the application form and closed it again.

I'd love to enroll, I just recently discussed with my wife that I'd love to get a better theoretical background, enroll again.

But .. the list of requirements to apply corrects this German's idea of what bureaucracy means and I cannot provide most of the documents, nor does it seem that this is seriously targeted at non US citizens. Not for me unfortunately, but I do appreciate that this is offered in general, and even (in theory?) includes global applicants.



There is probably less bureaucracy than you think. It all depends on who is making the decision. You should email them.

When I looked into schools, some schools stated they wanted a 3.0 GPA, for instance. this seems standard and seems like school policy, but I have found out that it isn't very strictly enforced at many schools, even public schools. there are things that are stated because the state makes up what rules need to be advertised for public schools, but departments often don't care.

In the end, they want your money, especially for a master's degree where you'll be paying.

If you're interested, you should try emailing them and try to get a feel for how lax they are about such things.
