The graduate school also requires students to have a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university in the U.S. or its equivalent from a foreign institution. Students must also have at least a 3.0 (or B) GPA in the most recent 2 years of study, and prove English equivalency if necessary.
English Proficiency:
The Graduate School is temporarily accepting official test scores for both the Duolingo English Test and the TOEFL ITP Plus For China to assist international students with remote testing options. This policy is currently in effect through the autumn 2021 admission cycle (i.e., students enrolling in autumn 2021).
International graduate students who achieve a score of 580 (TOEFL) or 237 (TOEFL C) or 92 (TOEFL iBT) or greater on the International TOEFL (or 90 or greater on the Michigan Language Test) and a score of 55 or greater on the International Test of Spoken English (TSE) or 230 or better on the Speaking Proficiency English Assessment Kit (SPEAK) administered by the University of Washington (UW) may be appointed as TAs without additional language proficiency testing. The International TSE is not required for admission; however, international graduate students admitted to the Department of Earth and Space Sciences who have not taken the TSE must take the SPEAK test after their arrival to the UW.
