International Student Admission Requirements
International students must fulfill U.S. Immigration Service requirements and register with the International Services and Foreign Student and the International Services Office. The Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders requires the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) of all applicants whose native language is not English. This test must be taken in the student’s own country before admission is granted. This requirement may be waived for a foreign student who has completed an academic program of two or more years in duration at an accredited American college or university. Presently the minimum TOEFL score acceptable for graduate work in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders is 100. If the student uses other tests of English proficiency for application, the minimum score required is an overall band score of 7.5 for IELTS and 65 for the PEARSON test.
