English
Language Proficiency
Undergraduate and graduate applicants
Scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) must
be submitted by both undergraduate and graduate applicants at the
time of application. To qualify for unconditional acceptance, the
applicant must have obtained a minimum TOEFL score of 193 (computer
test), 525 (paper test), or 70 (iBT). Many departments require higher TOEFL scores
for graduate applicants.
Arrangements to take the TOEFL can be made by writing to the Educational
Testing Service, Princeton, NJ 08540, USA, or by inquiring at the
nearest U.S. Consulate or binational center. All undergraduate international
applicants should ask to have the test results sent to the Office
of International Programs. Graduate applicants should have their test
results sent to the Graduate School. The TOEFL must have been taken
within the past two calendar years.
Conditional admission
An undergraduate or graduate applicant who meets all requirements
for admission to North Dakota State University except for the TOEFL
score may be notified of his/her academic eligibility for conditional
admission. The letter will state that the student cannot enroll at
the university until the required TOEFL score has been attained or
the applicant has successfully completed North Dakota State University's
Intensive English Language Program
Graduate teaching assistants
Teaching assistants must attain a TOEFL score of 247 (computer test), 600 (paper test), or 100 (iBT); a score of 50 or higher on the TSE (Test of Spoken
English); and show written proficiency with either a Test of Written
English (TWE) score of 5.0 or better, a pass grade on a writing sample
administered at NDSU, or completion of two semesters of English writing
at NDSU with grades of B or better. The test dates of the TOEFL and
TWE must be within two years of the date of the application to the
Graduate School. The SPEAK Test, a locally administered version of
the TSE, is given near the end of each semester at NDSU.
Graduate students who wish to be considered for a teaching assistantship
and those graduate students who have been offered an assistantship
with teaching responsibilities by their academic department are required
to participate in the Intensive English Language Program unless their
TOEFL score is higher than 247 (computer test) or 600 (paper test).
Students who have been offered a graduate assistantship by their academic
unit will be responsible for their living expenses, the cost of course
materials and language laboratory fees for the duration of the program,
and their tuition.
