Transcripts

All applicants must submit a self-reported transcript with course names translated into English. There is no need to convert your GPA to the 4.0 scale.

Language Tests

All students whose first language is not English are required to take one of the following English proficiency tests:

• Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The minimum required score on the TOEFL is 100 on the TOEFL iBT and TOEFL iBT Home Edition, 250 on the computer-based test, and 600 on the paper-based test.
• International English Language Testing System (IELTS). The minimum required score on the IELTS is a 7.5 band score.
• Pearson Test of English (PTE). The minimum required score on the PTE is a 68.

Language Test Waivers

You are eligible to waive the language test requirement if you meet any of the following criteria:

• If you completed a four-year bachelor’s degree at an institution where the medium language of instruction is English. You must have completed your degree in its entirety at the English-medium institution. The medium language of instruction must be indicated on your transcript or verified in an official letter from the institution.
  
  
• If you completed a two-year master’s degree at an institution where the medium language of instruction is English. You must have completed your degree in its entirety at the English-medium institution. The medium language of instruction must be indicated on your transcript or verified in an official letter from the institution.
  
  
• You have worked in a full-time, post-degree position for at least two years in the United States or a country where English is an official language. NOTE: Working for a company that conducts its business in English in a country where English is not an official language will not qualify you for a language test waiver.
