Standardized Tests

Standardized Tests

For undergraduate and graduate students

International students seeking admission to a degree program must submit an official TOEFL or IELTS score report. The ETS code for the Woods College of Advancing Studies is 3276.

• We require a minimum TOEFL score in the range of 90-100 (iBT).
• IELTS requires a minimum score range of 6.5-7.5.

These criteria may be waived if English is the main/primary language of instruction at the school where you earned your previous degree, which must be indicated in an official letter from the institution. While test scores and grades offer some indication of students' academic promise and achievement, we also value highly other aspects of each applicant, for example, strength of character, extracurricular distinction, personal statement, recommendations, and personal qualities.
