英语水平 Requirement
Non-Native Speakers of English
入学 to all levels of University study is contingent upon successful completion of English language proficiency requirements. Non-native speakers of English can provide evidence of English language proficiency through a variety of options. 入学 to the on-campus English Language Center (ELC) and subsequent enrollment in English language courses at the ELC does not imply admission to the University.
