TAKING THE TOEFL

If you completed your secondary school education in a country where English is not the primary language, you probably need to take the TOEFL exam to get into college or graduate school in the United States. Each college and graduate school has different exam requirements. You should check the specific school you are interested in to find out its TOEFL requirements.

The Day Intensive Program and Evening Intensive Program provide a solid foundation in academic English language instruction. This foundation can help you prepare for the different parts of the TOEFL exam. Additionally, TOEFL Preparation Workshops are offered in the Non-Intensive ESL program.
