Waiving the TOEFL Requirement

International students applying for graduate admission meeting the following conditions will not be required to submit valid TOEFL scores:

  • Students who hold a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited university located in the United States or in another country in which English is both the language of instruction and the only official language of the country. All 4 years of the degree must be completed in the qualifying country. Please note: a graduate degree from a U.S. college or university does not exempt students from TOEFL.
  • Students whose native language is English. This applies to native English speakers from countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada (except Quebec) where English is both the only official language of the country and the language of instruction.
