I would like to have more info on admission requirements and faculty. What are the minimum GRE and TOEFL scores?

The minimum TOEFL score required of all PhD applicants from non-English speaking countries is 100 on the internet-based test and 600 on the paper-based test.  The English department will consider MA applicants with a lower TOEFL score on a case-by-case basis.  The TOEFL requirement may be waived for applicants who already hold a higher education degree from a college or university where English is the primary language.

All graduate school applicants are required by the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences to take the GRE.  If requested, the English department will consider waiving the GRE score if the applicant already holds a JD, MD, or PhD.  The GRE score must not be more than 5 years old from the time of application. The English graduate program highly recommends that prospective applicants also take the specialized subject test in English. The subject test allows us to better assess each applicant’s ability to thrive in the program and arrive prepared for the rigors of graduate study.
