Applicants from countries where the primary language is not English must take the Test of Spoken English (TSE) in addition to the TOEFL. A TSE score of at least 50 is required for consideration. The minimum TOEFL score for consideration is: 590 (paper-based); 243 (computer-based); 95 (new Internet-based TOEFL), with subscores of Reading 24, Listening 24, Speaking 24, and Writing 22. Note that the GRE is not required for admission to this program, but if you have taken it, you should submit those scores with your application.
If you are from a country where the primary language is not English and/or you are not a native speaker of English, see the International students page for information on additional test requirements.
