What is the minimum acceptable score for the TOEFL?
The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences requires a TOEFL score of at least 600 on the written test, 250 on the computer based test or 100 on the internet based test for all admitted applicants. Applications with test scores below these thresholds required by the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences will not be considered by our department. A foreign application is considered incomplete without the results of a TOEFL exam. Those interested in waiving the TOEFL requirement due to graduation from institutions where English was the primary language should contact the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Graduate Affairs Office at (212) 305-8058 (telephone) or biomedicalsciences@columbia.edu (e-mail) * Official test scores must be requested from ETS using institutional code 2619. Q: To whom may I inquire if I am exempt from the TOEFL requirement? If you wish to determine whether the TOEFL requirement applies to you, please contact the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Graduate Affairs
