International Admissions - Language Requirement

An applicant from another country seeking admission to graduate studies must meet the same requirements for admission as applicants from the United States. In addition, he or she must demonstrate the ability to read, write, speak and understand the English language. A prospective student whose native language is not English may take either the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System test (IELTS).

TOEFL information may be obtained via the website www.ets.org/toefl and IELTS from the website www.ielts.org. An applicant from non-English speaking countries must present a TOEFL score of at least 213 computer-based, 80 internet-based or an IELTS score of at least 6.0 to be admitted to graduate studies. An applicant may be exempt from the TOEFL requirements by completing all credits of a baccalaureate degree or higher in the United States. Texas A&M university Institution Code: 6003.

IELTS Texas A&M University now recognizes the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) examination as an alternative to the 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 IELTS examination; therefore, a test taker should provide the following address to have his/her official score sent to Texas A&M University:
