International applicants must also submit World Education Services (WES) translations for international transcripts, mailed directly from WES (www.wes.org) and Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) scores, mailed directly from the Educational Testing Service (ETS). Scores must not be over one year old, unless the student has been enrolled full-time in an accredited American college or university in the interim. Except in cases where English is their native language, international applicants must submit satisfactory scores on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
