International Applicants

Bachelor’s Degrees

Degrees that require less than 4 years of education are not regarded as equivalent to a U.S. bachelor’s degree. If you hold this type of degree, you must complete an additional year of higher education coursework to be considered for admission.

Official Transcripts (required after offer of admission)

If you attended universities which issue official transcripts of records upon request, please submit these credentials if you are offered admission. We cannot accept attested true copies of records.

English Testing

The TOEFL or IELTS is generally required of all applicants whose native language is not English, regardless of U.S. citizenship status. Applicants who have completed 24 quarter credits (within 24 months of the applicant’s proposed term of entry) in residence as a full-time student at a recognized intuition of higher learning in the United States or other English-speaking country before entering the University of Minnesota are generally exempted from this requirement.

International students must achieve these minimum scores to be considered for admission:

  • TOEFL iBT: 79 or above with section scores of 21 on writing and 19 on reading
  • TOEFL Paper-based: 550 or above
  • IELTS: 6.5

Please have official TOEFL scores sent to institution code 6874.
