An international student holding the equivalent of a U.S. baccalaureate degree, as determined by the Dean of Graduate Studies, from a recognized international institution of college or university level, may apply for admission. The admission of international students is governed by separate requirements, as outlined below. Departments may require higher scores at their discretion. Any department may, because of the nature of study in the department, screen students with lower scores. Those recommended for admission with scores lower than the minimum must be approved by the Graduate School.
