FAQs

• + What are the English proficiency requirements?

  

  Applicants can view English language exam information for the University of Minnesota at the Graduate School's English Language Proficiency site. It is fine if your scores are not attached to your application when you submit; the Graduate School will attach your official scores but they can take 6+ weeks to process. Our department can review your materials without those official scores. We understand the process can be delayed due to our processing time. If your scores were set to the University more than 6 weeks ago but you are still not seeing the official scores on your application, please contact [email protected] to request that the admissions office verify if they have received your scores. Applicants are often concerned that their application will not be reviewed if they have an English exam score under the minimum scores outlined by the University. This is not the case; we review applications even if some of the English exam scores are lower than the stated requirement. If an applicant is admitted with a lower score than the requirement, they can complete an additional assessment when they arrive on campus. Based on the results of this assessment, they may be asked to take an English course during their first semester. If you have English exam scores that are current now but will expire by fall 2024, you do not need to worry about that at this time. We can review your application with expired scores. If you are admitted and accept the offer of admission, we can work with the Graduate School to determine what steps need to be completed. This process can vary from person to person and we will need the Graduate School's feedback to know how to proceed.
