International Students
Applicants whose tertiary-level education has been completed at international institutions in a non-English speaking country must take and score satisfactorily on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language
Testing System (IELTS) if the native language is not English. A minimum satisfactory score is a total of 550 for the TOEFL PBT (or a minimum score of 79 on the TOEFL iBT (internet based)) or 6.5 for IELTS; however, TOEFL or IELTS score requirements
are one of the many criteria of a student's admission, and the requirement could vary based upon previous education, GPA, and related factors.
Applicants from international institutions must use one of the credentialing services approved by UTMB to provide a verification and a course by course evaluation of transcripts in order to be considered for admission to programs at UTMB.
The application will walk you through how to do this.
More information for international students including visa requirements can be found here on the UTMB Enrollment Services website.
