TOEFL minimum passing scores are 90 for the Internet-based test (IBT), and 570 for the paper-based format (PBT). The TOEFL may be waived if an international student has completed at least one year of full-time academic course work with grades of B or better while in residence at a U.S. university (transcript will be required).

Adequate proficiency in English must be demonstrated by those applicants applying from countries where English is not the official language. There are two standardized tests you may take: the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), and the International English Language Testing System (IELTS).

Applicants are required to take the Graduate Record Examination and have their exam scores reported to the University. The UC Berkeley school code is 4833; department codes are unnecessary as our system matches scores directly to an application. As long as the scores are sent to UC Berkeley, they will be received by any program you apply to on campus. The GRE general test is required. GRE subject tests are not required, but can be submitted if taken. It is strongly recommended that applicants take the GRE by November so scores arrive in time to complete application files by early December. Self-reported scores are acceptable for review until the official scores are available. Current test scores are preferred, but we will accept scores up to five years old.
