International Scholars Program
The university has a direct entry score requirement of 95 on the TOEFL exam, 7.0 on the IELTS exam with no sub-score less than a 6.5, 66 on the Pearson PTE, or 125 on the Duolingo English Test. Applicants who do not meet these scores can still be admitted to the university, but will be required to complete our International Scholars Program prior to beginning program coursework. Applicants from English-speaking countries or those who possess a university degree from an English-speaking institution may not be required to submit proficiency scores as part of the application.
The International Scholars Program (ISP) is specially designed for non-native English-speaking international students who are ready for graduate study. It prepares students for the rigors of graduate study through an integrated cluster of classes that refine language, research, and participation skills. ISP is not a typical “language program”: it is designed to help students succeed in graduate-level courses by teaching the practices and expectations of American academic and business culture.
For more information on the program, including IELTS score requirements, please visit the program webpage.
