English Language Requirement

Applicants for whom English is not their native language and who have not graduated from an accredited institution in the United States are required to take one of the English language proficiency tests listed below. If you have particular difficulties with the English language, the University reserves the right to require you to take additional coursework in English as a second language. Only scores earned within the past two years are accepted. All applicants must ask Educational Testing Services (ETS) or the British Council to send score reports to the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs (GSPIA). The Institutional Code for GSPIA is 2574.
