Áù¾ÅÉ«ÌÃ

No single factor in the consideration for admission is more important than a student's ability to read, write, speak and understand the English language. Course work demands university-level English language proficiency and skills. The University requires all applicants whose native language is not English to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam before they can be considered for final admission. Students should have their test results sent directly to Áù¾ÅÉ«ÌÃ.
