The English Language Skill Requirement
If your native language is not English, or if you graduated with a bachelor’s degree from a non-English speaking country, you will need to take and submit your TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or other Graduate Council approved English language skills test scores.
Non-English speaking countries are those which are not included in the Admissions Office list of English speaking countries.
Having the TOEFL or English Language Test sent to the University of Florida as a non-degree student
Non-degree applicants who are required to take the TOEFL must send a scan or photocopy of their TOEFL score report directly to ahc-dess@ufl.edu.
If you apply to our certificate or master’s degree programs after taking non-degree coursework, we must have official TOEFL scores sent. We cannot accept unofficial scores for certificate or master’s applicants; only official, sealed scores, direct from ETS, to the UF Office of Admissions are acceptable. Self-reported scores, unsealed copies of score reports or photocopies of score reports cannot be accepted as official final documents when applying to the certificate or master’s degree. There is no exception.
Minimum TOEFL Scores Required
To be considered for the non-degree, the applicant must score the following on the TOEFL:
- Paper-based: 550
- Computer-based: 213
- Internet: 80
