All applicants whose native language is not English and/or who submit a transcript from a country other than the U.S. must provide evidence of successfully completing a university approved English Language Assessment exam which includes the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a minimum score of 79 for the internet based test, International English Language Testing System (IELTS) with a minimum score of 6.5 or the Michigan English Language Assessment Battery (MELAB) with a minimum score of 80. The TOEFL is not required if the applicant has a Bachelor’s degree or higher from a regionally accredited U.S. college or University, or has successfully completed the appropriate graduate preparatory English Language Academy coursework as determined through the ELA placement exams including courses ELA400 and ELA401, with a grade of B or higher.
