An applicant from another country seeking admission to graduate

non-English speaking countries must present a TOEFL score of at
least 213 computer-based, 80 internet-based or an IELTS score of at

Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). IELTS information may
be obtained from the website www.ielts.org. The University has set
the minimum IELTS score required for admission at a 6.0 overall
band. An applicant will need to request that his/her score be
reported to Texas A&M University directly from the testing service
to be considered official. No institutional code is used with the
