GMAT or GRE

The GMAT or GRE is NOT a required component for application.

IELTS or TOEFL

All applicants whose native language is not English OR who have not received a university degree taught in English must take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or the IELTS (International English Language Testing System).

The minimum TOEFL score is 90 and the minimum IELTS score is 6.5.

If your native language is not English and you are in the process of completing a bachelor's degree taught in English and the degree will be conferred prior to enrollment in the MS program, you may contact the admissions office and request to have your IELTS or TOEFL waived. The IELTS or TOEFL must be taken within two years of the deadline by which you are applying:

You are responsible for including your IELTS or TOEFL score on the online application and ensuring that your official score report can be released and sent to us. While an official test score is required for a final decision, the Admissions Committee can begin the review of your application with an unofficial test score.

(* Please choose "China" when selecting the Country/Region for the IELTS score report)

For applicants who take the test more than once, the Admissions Committee will consider only the test with the highest total score taken within two years from the application deadline by which you apply.

If you plan to retake the IELTS or TOEFL after applying, please inform the Admissions Committee of the date you intend to take the test in the optional essay of your application. The Admissions Committee will proceed with the evaluation of your application using your submitted information and may issue a decision prior to receiving test scores.
