Tests
The GRE (Graduate Record Examination) is not required. If applicants believe that making GRE scores available to the admissions and awards process would provide additional information that would buttress their record in light of previous academic performance, GRE scores would be considered in that context.
International applicants are required to submit test results from the TOEFL or IELTS Minimum score requirements: TOEFL: 100(iBT); IELTS: 7.0 Institution Code: 1473. Applicants with TOEFL scores from 79-99 iBT, or an IELTS score of 6.5 may be considered for admission with the stipulation that further coursework in English be taken.
