Why does K-State require a TOEFL score of 79 (internet-based)/213 (computer-based)/550 (paper-based) for a technical field like physics?
Most graduate students support themselves by working as a teaching assistant (GTA) for their first year. It is obviously important to be able to interact effectively with our K-State undergraduates! Furthermore, your professional success in physics demands that you be able to communicate results to others in spoken and written English. For these reasons, the K-State Physics Department seldom relaxes the TOEFL requirement. In exceptional cases [usually a TOEFL score just below 79/213/550 for an application that is otherwise very strong], we can provisionally admit a student to Physics provided he or she is simultaneously accepted into the K-State English Language Program (ELP). Students may have to bear the cost of the ELP themselves, and restrictions on other financial assistance may apply until the ELP program has been satisfactorily completed. For more information on the ELP, see http://www.ksu.edu/elp/. The Department will accept copies of your TOEFL. TOEFL scores are only valid for
