Standardized Test Scores
The GRE/GMAT is NO LONGER REQUIRED for admission to the Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences.
The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is REQUIRED for international students whose native language is not English and who have not studied at an institution in the United States or other English-speaking countries for one year or longer. Students must have a score of at least 600 on the written version, 250 on the computer version, or 100 on the internet-based TOEFL. The TOEFL exam must have been taken within the past two (2) years.
