  • A completed Application Form for the Graduate Programs
  • An undergraduate (or graduate in the case of the Ph.D. program) degree from an accredited college or university with at least a B (3.0) grade point average;
  • For those applicants whose native language is not English, the University requires evidence of proficiency in English. See the separate section on English-language Proficiency for a list of language certificates and test results that the University accepts as such evidence.
  • Official transcripts from each college/university (graduate or undergraduate programs) previously attended
  • An up-to-date résumé
  • The essay that is included in the application form outlining your professional goals and how a Hellenic American University graduate degree will assist you
  • Two letters of recommendation for the Graduate Programs or for the Ph.D. in Language and Communication;
  • One e-photo
  • An in color copy of the applicant’s passport/National Identity Card
  • A non-refundable application fee of €50/$50 (€100/$100 for the Ph.D. program).

All the material submitted for admission should consist of either the original documents or notarized copies. Since the language of instruction and administration is English, you should make sure that documents that are not in English are accompanied by certified English translations.

Making sure that the material you submit is accurate and complete will help you avoid unnecessary delays in the admissions process. All applications and support materials are kept by Hellenic American University and a copy by Hellenic American College. The Office of Admissions does not return application materials to the applicant once they have been submitted.
