•  For international applicants whose primary language is not English and who are not graduates of a college or university in the United States, an acceptable score on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required. A minimum requirement of 550 on the paper-based exam, 213 on the computer-based exam or a 79-80 on the internet-based exam. A transcript evaluation submitted by World Education Services is also required. You also must submit your original transcript in your native language.
