Test of English as a Foreign Language
1. Students who have a TOEFL score of 500-525 or 173-195 (computer
based) or its equivalent may be granted admission for degree studies, but must first
enroll in an upper-level intensive English program. Only under special circumstances, and
with the requirement of additional intensive English language studies, will students be
admitted with less than a 500 or 173 (computer based) on the TOEFL or its equivalent.
2. Students who have a TOEFL score of 525-550 or 195-213 (computer
based) or its equivalent may be granted admission and may enroll for a combination of
degree studies and certain English language courses, depending on an evaluation by our ESL
instructor prior to registration for courses.
3. Students who have a TOEFL score of 550 or 213 (computer based)
(with at least 52 or 18 (computer based) in each section of the exam) or its equivalent
may be granted admission and may be allowed to enroll for degree studies on a full-time
basis.

The Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT I) or the American College
Test (ACT) is generally not required of international students. However, international
students are advised to take the SAT I or ACT, if possible, for it can often establish
admissibility for an applicant when foreign records alone do not. |
