Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • International applicants provide translated secondary reports/transcripts and, after admission, a course-by-course evaluation including GPA from an accepted evaluator.
  • A recommendation is required for the test-optional route.
  • Incoming-class average grades are not minimum admission requirements.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • Published residential undergraduate English options include IELTS 6.5 or Duolingo 115.
  • English-medium waivers have specified country/credential conditions and require attested evidence; online credentials cannot establish a waiver.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • The residential first-year calendar principally supports fall entry at Macon.
  • Confirm any spring opportunity separately; Atlanta professional and working-adult schedules are different.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • First-year Early Action I is November 1, Early Action II December 1 and Regular Decision February 1.
  • These recurring dates do not specify an intake year in the checked table.
  • Early Action provides earlier scholarship consideration; do not substitute FAFSA dates.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • The 2026/27 Macon residential undergraduate budget lists USD 44,784 tuition and USD 500 facility/technology fee for fall plus spring, based on full-time 12-credit enrolment each semester over nine months.
  • Laboratory/course charges and health insurance are extra; USD 1,402 per semester insurance is listed for students without an approved waiver, with age-dependent pricing.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • International students are eligible for merit scholarships, not state/federal aid.
  • First-year candidates are reviewed at admission; current residential guidance gives typical initial awards of USD 18,000–27,000 annually.
  • Renewal is ordinarily up to eight semesters at Macon with GPA 2.0, subject to the award’s terms.
