Who must take the TOEFL English Proficiency Exam?
A. Take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) http://www.toefl.org if you have received your degree in a country in which the official language is not English. Exception: if you have taken at least one year of full-time academic course work (not ESL) with grades B or better in residence at an accredited university in an English-speaking country, take the GRE instead, and submit a transcript from the university. Take the TOEFL no later than mid November. We do not accept scores from tests taken more than 18 months prior to the deadline (before June 2007), and we consider only the most recent score. Arrange for TOEFL scores to be sent to Berkeley Institution Code 4833 and the TOEFL History Departmental Code 86.
All applicants from countries in which the official language is not English must submit current TOEFL scores. Exception: If you have completed at least one year of full-time academic course work with grades of B or better at a U.S. university, you do not need to take the TOEFL. Instead, submit an official transcript from the U.S. University, and TAKE THE GRE. Scores from tests taken before June 2004 will not be accepted, even if your scores were reported to Berkeley. Have TOEFL scores sent to UC Berkeley, History of Art department. Use Institution Code 4833 and TOEFL Department Code 26. Correct TOEFL codes are important!
