• International applicants whose native language is not English are required to submit a TOEFL score, (taken within two years from the proposed date of entry), unless the applicant has completed at least two years of full-time study or completed (in the past 5 years) a graduate degree in a country where English is the primary language and in a school where English is the primary language of instruction.
• Work experience is weighted heavily in admissions decisions.  At least two years of full-time, post-undergraduate experience is strongly recommended, although exceptions have been made in the cases of joint degree applicants and applicants with compelling part-time experience.

Non-degree applications are not accepted.
