  No grade below a “C” will count toward prerequisite coursework.
  Note: a C- does not meet this minimum requirement

English Proficiency:
International applicants must be able to read, speak, write and comprehend rapid idiomatic English. We do not offer ESL instruction. Therefore, the TOEFL or IELTS exam is required of all students whose language of instruction is not English. The following are minimum guidelines used to determine sufficient test scores for admission:

TOEFL paper-based test = 550
TOEFL iBT = 79
IELTS = 6.5

Testing locations and dates for these exams may be found on their web sites:

TOEFL 
IELTS 

Test results must be entered into your CAS application and sent to the appropriate CAS.

NOTE: Applicants who were instructed in English may still be asked to submit a TOEFL or IELTS exam result in order to assess English proficiency. 

Letter(s) of Recommendation: 
Two letters of recommendation (LORs) collected through the appropriate CAS are required. These must be in English.

Evidence of Financial Support:
Students must be able to show their ability to pay for their program studies in the United States. Students may self-fund their education or obtain a financial sponsor. Students with a financial sponsor must complete the Affidavit of Financial Support and return the document signed by the student’s sponsor to the Admissions Office with proof of adequate funds to support you for at least one year. Such proof includes bank statements, employer testimony of salary, or government support letters.
