In order to undertake graduate study, all international students and others for whom English is not their first language must present evidence of competence in the use of the English language. This may be done by taking the Internet-based Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL iBT), which is administered by the Educational Testing Service, www.ets.org. The TOEFL code number for the Yale School of Art is 3982. Candidates for admission generally achieve a composite Internet-based score of at least 100, or a computer-based score of at least 250, with speaking and listening scores of at least 28. If the TOEFL iBT is not available in your area, you are required to complete the TOEFL that is available plus you are required to take the Test of Spoken English (TSE). A minimum TOEFL score of 550 is generally achieved for the pbt. Although we have no official cut-off, you will have difficulty in an intensive program such as ours without a level of language proficiency appropriate for graduate study. The TOEFL score may be waived if the undergraduate degree has been obtained from a four-year, English-speaking institution.

IELTS test scores may be accepted with a minimum score of 7.

GRE is not required
