Is an English language test (TOEFL, MELAB, or IELTS) required for international applicants whose native language is not English?
The TOEFL, MELAB, or IELTS is required of all international applicants whose native language is not English, except those who will have completed 24 quarter credits/16 semester credits (within the past 24 months) in residence as a full-time student at a recognized institution of higher learning in the United States before entering the University of Minnesota. For applicants who must take the TOEFL, MELAB, or IELTS, the test date must be no more than two years before you expect to begin the program. For example, if you hope to begin the CSPP program in September 2009 (and therefore are applying by December 1, 2008), the oldest acceptable exam results would be from September 2007. For applicants who must take the TOEFL, IELTS, or MELAB, an official score report must be sent to the Graduate School using the appropriate institution code. It may take several weeks for official score reports to reach the University. Be sure to take any required exams well in advance of the December 1 deadlin
