Intensive English with One Graduate Class

Graduate applicants who are admissible to a graduate degree program but have not yet met 成人头条's English requirement can begin taking one  graduate-level class while improving their English language skills at 成人头条's Intensive English Language Center. Because an academic I-20 cannot be issued before the English proficiency requirement is met, this option allows graduate students without an acceptable English score for full graduate admission to receive an I-20 for English language study instead.

Students who are admissible to a graduate program may enroll in 3 Intensive English classes and 1 graduate-level class if:

  1. Student completes an application for admission with required materials to the Intensive English Language Center.
  2. Student meets one of the part-time graduate/Intensive English requirements from the table below.
    • English Test results must be issued within the last 2 years for consideration.

English Test Required Score to Take One Graduate Class
TOEFL (iBT) 69-78
IELTS 6.0
PTE Academic 50-57
Duolingo English Test 110-114

IMPORTANT NOTE: Graduate students must still fulfill the English requirement established by their graduate program in order to begin full-time graduate study. Graduate students completing the Intensive English program at 成人头条 State may meet the Graduate School's English proficiency requirement by achieving a cumulative GPA of 3.00 in levels 1 through 6, and a grade of B-plus or higher in level 7.  However, some programs have higher requirements for English proficiency.
