TOEFL The current computer- and paper-based versions of the TOEFL test will be given until the iBT version is implemented in a particular location. Computer-based TOEFL scores must be 213 or higher (with at least 17 on three sections and no section score below 13). The paper-based test requires a score of 550 or higher (with scores of 50 on at least two of the three sections and no section score below 45). IELTS TOEFL or IELTS test scores must be no older than two years (24 months) prior to the beginning of the requested entry term. GRE The Department requires that applicants take the GRE (Graduate Record Exam).  A minimum score of 300 (1000 under the old scoring system) is required for admission to the M.S. program.  A score of 306 (1100 under the old scoring system)  is required for admission to the Ph.D. program. International students must also take the GRE examination unless evidence is presented that it presents an undue hardship on the applicant. Due to the fact that the GRE is given in English at a stage early in the international student's career, adjustments are made for GRE scores of less than 300.
