Applicants whose first language is not English and/or whose undergraduate education was completed in a non-English speaking country are required to take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or IELTS (International English Language Testing System). The test must have been taken within two years of the application deadline, with a minimum overall TOEFL score of 80 (internet-based) or 6.5 IELTS.
