The TOEFL is required of all applicants whose native language is not English. This requirement is waived only for applicants who will have received a baccalaureate degree, prior to matriculation at Yale, from a college or university where English is the primary language of instruction. Waivers are not granted for those who have received a masters degree from such an institution. There is no formal waiver process or form required. Applicants must achieve a score of at least 600 on the paper version of the exam, 250 on the computer-based exam, and 100 on the internet-based exam. Applicants should take the test no later than November and no earlier than 18 months prior to applying to the BBS Program. Please use institution code 3987 when reporting your scores to the BBS Program; you do not need a department code.

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) scores are acceptable in addition to or in lieu of TOEFL and TSE test scores. For details about this testing alternative, please visit www.ielts.org. At the time of test-taking you will want to specify Yale University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test is required of all applicants, though the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) may be substituted for the GRE in special cases. A pertinent GRE Subject Test is also strongly recommended. Applicants should take the GRE by early December. If you cannot take the GRE until December, you do not need to wait until then to apply. You should submit your application first and then submit your GRE scores afterward. When reporting official scores to the BBS Program, please use institution code 3987; you do not need a department code. The BBS Program does not have minimum GRE score requirements.
