Students for whom English is a second language are required to submit scores from a Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) examination taken within the past two years. Alternatively, students may demonstrate evidence of English proficiency through some other means. Students are expected to have the ability to comprehend, speak, and write English on the graduate level.  TOEFL scores are required in the top 15% to 20% (minimum 96-120 total, or 24-30 in each of the four categories).  Our TOEFL exam code is B743.  Special attention will be given to aural comprehension and verbal expression.  In the case of heavy accents remedial work may be necessary under the aegis of the sponsoring body before beginning academic work under the PFIC.

Anyone wishing to take courses simply for their own enrichment or for continuing education may apply as a non-degree-seeking student.  Such persons are also welcome to audit courses with the understanding that no papers or examinations will be required or graded, and no academic credit will be awarded.  For more information, please see our Continuing Education page.

To apply, a person must submit an application, application fee ($150.00, non-refundable), official transcript(s), and a recent photo of himself or herself.  Students may apply up to the beginning of a given semester, although early applications are highly encouraged. Admission as a non-degree student does not constitute admission to any degree program. However, if a student should later apply for admission to a degree program, course credits earned as a non-matriculated student may be applied to the degree (the maximum number of course credits applicable would vary with the degree program). The application fee for the degree would also be waived.
