Undergraduate Admission Requirements

Minimum cumulative high school GPA: 2.3 (based on a 4.0 scale)

English language proficiency — applicants must meet the minimum test scores of one or more of the following:

  • TOEFL: 78 (no part below 17)
  • IELTS: 6.0 (no score below 5.0)
  • iTEP: 3.8

Additional Requirements

All first year students must meet a minimum math placement test score. If you don't meet this requirement, you may have to take a remedial math course or follow a self-study plan to improve your math skills and meet the fundamental requirements, which may result in an extension of your original study plan. Please work with your admissions counselor to determine math placement.
