Applicants who are non-native speakers of English must receive a minimum score of 500 paper test, 173 computer-based, or 61 internet-based on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or a 5.5 academic IELTS score unless they possess a baccalaureate degree from a college or university in which instruction is given in English. Tests taken more than two (2) years prior to the date of application cannot be accepted.

NOTE: International students have earlier application deadlines because of the need to secure a visa. June 15th is the absolute latest date to apply for Fall admission. October 15th is the latest date for January admission. International students are also not eligible for a Visa for online programs, however, you can take the online programs from your native country.
