Additional Required Documents
International applicants must submit the following additional documents:
- Copy of diploma(s) and/or certificate(s) in the original language
- Official original transcripts in the original language for every year of study.
- Official TOEFL and/or IELTS score.
Evaluation Requirement
If you have attended a university outside of the United States, you must submit your official documents (transcripts, certificates, diplomas, etc.) to an approved evaluation service (WES, ECE, or Josef Silny & Associates) for a course-by-course evaluation and grade point average calculation.
English Language Proficiency Exams
International students whose native language is not English are required to submit an English language proficiency exam. Currently, the Miami Business School accepts the following exams and respective scores:
- TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language): The TOEFL should have been taken within 2 years prior to application for admission. A minimum score of 600 (paper-based), 94 (internet-based), or 240 (computer-based) is required. The TOEFL code for the University of Miami is: 5815.
- IELTS (International English Language Testing System): The IELTS should have been taken within 2 years prior to application for admission. A minimum score of 7.0 is required. The IELTS code for the University of Miami is: 4861.
The English language proficiency exam requirement may be waived for non-native English speakers by fulfilling one of the following criteria:
- An applicant has earned an undergraduate degree in a country where the official language is English (this does not include degrees from just English-speaking institutions or just a country where English is spoken).
- An applicant has studied in the United States at an undergraduate level for at least one year or the equivalent of 30 consecutive credits.
- An applicant has lived and worked in an English-speaking country for the past two or more years.
