Additional Information for International Applicants
TRANSCRIPTS
If your official transcripts or mark sheets of college level work are in a language other than English, a certified English translation must be included. Transcripts must carry the signature of a responsible official in which the work was done and the seal of that institution, or must be certified true copies of the original records. If photostatic copies are provided, the copies must be certified after duplication as true copies of the original document. Transcripts should clearly indicate the grades received or the standing attained on required examinations. If transcripts do not show the degree earned and the date on which it was conferred, official degree statements must also be provided. If the official degree statement is in a language other than English, a certified English translation must be included with the certification being provided after their duplication.
TOEFL AND GRE SCORES
Applicants from foreign countries where English is not the primary language must present official scores on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and official scores on the Graduate Record Examination. A score of at least 550 on the paper-based TOEFL, 213 on the computer-based TOEFL, or 80 on the internet-based TOEFL is required. Scores on the General Test and any appropriate Advanced Test of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) must reach the Graduate Studies Office before the application can be considered. Official score reports from the Educational Testing Service are required. Photocopies will not be accepted. Under no circumstances will we accept GRE scores that are more than three years old. Computer-based scores from the People's Republic of China (including Hong Kong), Korea, and Taiwan will not be accepted if taken prior to July 2003. Foreign students admitted for graduate study on the basis of undergraduate work completed in a college or university in which instruction is in a language other than English will be required to demonstrate acceptable proficiency in English before they will be eligible for admission to candidacy for a Master’s degree or for approval of their program of studies for the Ph.D. degree.
