International Applicants: What is the minimum TOEFL score for admission?
The minimum TOEFL score for admission to GW graduate programs is 550 on the paper-based test (PBT), 213 on the computer-based test (CBT), or 80 on the internet-based test (IBT). Please note that these minimums reflect standards set by the University. Our departments are free to set higher standards. For example, the minimum TOEFL score for admission to the graduate programs in Public Policy and Public Administration, and our PhD programs in Biomedical Sciences, is 600 on the PBT, 250 on the CBT, or 100 on the IBT. International students applying for a graduate teaching assistantship/fellowship should submit TOEFL scores of 600 or above on the PBT, 250 or above on the CBT, or 100 or above on the IBT.
