Undergraduate English Requirement

Conditional Admission is available for students who meet our academic requirements for admission. If you receive conditional admission the major listed on your I-20 will be Intensive English. We will note that you also have admission to an academic program on your I-20.
You do not need to submit a TOEFL or IELTS score when you apply.
You may send your official score later or we will test your English after you arrive.
Students who do not meet our English requirement or do not submit an English score will be required to enroll in the Intensive English Language Center.
