The score must be no more than two years old from the requested date of entry.
Applicants who have received a degree from an accredited U.S. institution within the past two years are exempt from the TOEFL requirement.

Applicants are expected to have completed a bachelor's degree with an average of at least 3.00 out of 4.00, both overall and in the senior year.
Applicants who hold the bachelor's degree in fields other than computer science will be required to take selected undergraduate courses as determined by the applicant's prior education and experience.
The student will be admitted under non-degree status until the required undergraduate courses are successfully completed with a grade of B or better.
An international student may not enroll as a non-degree student.
Minimum score requirements for admission to the Graduate School are:
a total score of 80 on the internet-based TOEFL (iBT),
