Application Requirements for International Students
All applicants, regardless of citizenship status, are required to verify their English language proficiency. English proficiency can be demonstrated in the following ways, as part of the application process:
1. Proof of English Language Proficiency
In addition to the general application requirements, all applicants whose primary language is not English must demonstrate proficiency in both written and spoken English. English proficiency must be proven before an official admission decision can be made. Candidates will receive a supplemental application form via email after applying with instructions for submitting ELL test scores.
The following are acceptable methods to demonstrate English proficiency:
A. TOEFL: A minimum overall band score of 75 on the iBT Test of English Language as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required to be considered for admission. Candidates may submit their scores digitally or in hardcopy. 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网's institution code is 5399.
B. IELTS: A minimum score of 6.0 on the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is required to be considered for admission. IELTS scores may be submitted digitally or in hardcopy. 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网's institution code is 5399.
C. English Language Education: A high school diploma, 3-year undergraduate degree, or masters degree at an accredited institution at which English is the language of instruction. The application form provides instructions for submitting documentation based on the language of instruction by submitting a transcript or verification letter from their previous institution.
Please note that meeting the guidelines above is not a guarantee of admission and that candidates may be asked to meet other requirements after initial application review. The average TOEFL IBT score among admitted students in 2024 was 92, and the average IELTS score among admitted students in 2020 was 6.5.
2. Certified Translations of Non-English Documents
If transcripts, degrees, recommendation letters or other official documents are not issued in English, international applicants are required to submit certified translations. If your institution issues transcripts in English, no additional translation or certification is required. The Office of Graduate Admission recommends World Education Services for educational document translation. Questions or concerns about official application documents can be directed to graduate@mica.edu.
3. Immigration and I-20 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网
No immigration, financial or visa documentation is required at the time of application. International candidates that receive an offer of admission will also receive the required forms as part of their admission packet. Please note that, as part of the immigration process, international students will be required to demonstrate sufficient financial support for both tuition and living expenses. 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网 is not able to provide full-tuition or full-ride scholarships. Partial Graduate Merit Scholarships cover between 10% and 75% of tuition; international students will need to show sufficient financial support to cover the balance of tuition and all living expenses.
