All classes are taught in English. An international applicant
may verify competency in English in the following manner:
- Applicants from English-speaking countries (excluding
the Canadian province of Quebec) may include with their
application a copy of their birth certificate. Or, these
applicants may complete an English competency verification
form, which can be obtained from the Office of Admissions.
We reserve the right to request proof of English proficiency
of any applicant.
- All other foreign applicants (including those from the
Canadian province of Quebec) must complete a TOEFL (Test
Of English as a Foreign Language) examination. Applicants
completing the paper-based examination must earn a score
of 540 or higher. Applicants completing the computer-based
examination must earn a score of 207 or higher. Results
of the TOEFL must be sent directly to Northwestern from
the testing agency. TOEFL information can be obtained online
at www.toefl.org, or from: TOEFL, P.O. Box 6151, Princeton,
NJ 08541-6151, U.S.A.
International applicants must provide evidence of having
financial resources to complete a minimum of one year of education.
An official bank statement indicating sufficient funds is
required.
International transcripts must be evaluated by an international
transcript evaluation service, such as World
Education Services, Inc. (Bowling Green Station, PO Box
5087, New York, NY 10274, phone: 212-966-6311) with official
copies of the course-by-course evaluation being forwarded
directly to both Northwestern and the student. Contact the
Office of Admissions
for a WES application form or names of other accepted transcript
evaluation services.
