International Admissions
Our basic requirements:
- English proficiency: If English is not your native language, we require the TOEFL (80 iBT; 20 on remaining sections) or the IELTS (6.5 minimum).
- International Transcript Evaluation: All international transcripts must be reviewed by an accredited evaluation service to determine U.S. equivalency of the degree awarded and the institution awarding the degree. Applications will not be reviewed for admissions until the official review is submitted.
