Proof of English Proficiency

International applicants whose native language is not English or who have not completed a degree program in the United States must submit results from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing Service (IELTS). TOEFL scores should not be more than two years old and must be at least 600 (paper-based exam), 250 (computer-based exam), or 100 (internet-based exam). The IELTS score must be a minimum of 7.0.

You may submit a photocopy of your score report to hasten the review of your application, but an official report sent directly from ETS or IELTS must be received to finalize any offer of admission. Please contact the admissions office at HellerAdmissions@brandeis.edu if you feel that you have extenuating circumstances which may exempt you from this requirement.

All TOEFL and GRE test score results should be sent directly to the Admissions Office using Heller’s institution code for each exam: 3097. Information regarding the GRE or TOEFL exams can be obtained from the testing agencies directly at www.gre.org or www.toefl.org, or from the Admissions Office. IELTS test score results may be mailed to the Admissions Office; additional information can be found at www.ielts.org.
