English Language Proficiency

You will be required to submit TOEFL, IELTS, or PTE scores if you are an international student, US citizen, or permanent resident with international credentials whose native language is not English and who does not hold a degree from an institution in the U.S. or one of the areas listed on the Graduate School website.

English language requirements for ITAs (International Teaching Assistants) are managed separately from the English language requirements for admission to the University of Maryland. For admission to the Biophysics graduate program, applicants must meet the minimum requirements for exemption from English language support.
