International Students

Application Instructions For International Applicants

With the proper documentation, international students are welcome to join our diverse program. Students who have studied at a non-English speaking school must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Minimum scores from TOEFL tests:

• Paper TOEFL (PBT) - minimum score 600
• Computer based TOEFL (CBT) - minimum score 250
• Internet Based Test ( iBT) TOEFL - minimum score 100

Since all four components of the iBT TOEFL test are critical to students in the Master’s of Science in Health Communication, we require the following of our applicants:

• Listening: 25 (max. of 30)
• Reading: 25 (max. of 30)
• Speaking: 25 (max. of 30)
• Writing: 25 (max. of 30)

If you are submitting a transcript from an international university that is not well known to our Admissions Committee, we may request that you obtain an evaluation of the transcript by a professional credential evaluation service that is a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services. Please contact your enrollment advisor to determine if a transcript evaluation or translation is required.
