Admission Requirements International Students

Step 1
 

International students applications for admission to the Graduate School must be filed to the Vice President of Graduate Studies at least 6 months in advance.

Midyear enrollment is strongly discouraged. All students from non-English-speaking countries must submit proof of adequate training and ability in the use of English as evidenced by a satisfactory score on recognized and acceptable tests administered in the student's home country.

Official Test Score Reports Required for Admission to TTU
All International Students Score at least
TOEFL--Education and Arts & Sciences 525 (71 iBT, 197 computer-based)
TOEFL--Engineering, M.B.A. and Nursing 550 (79 iBT, 213 computer-based)
GRE, GMAT, or MAT

Specific test and score as required by the individual departments/colleges
For the specific test scores required, please see the program you are interested in under the section "Degree Programs" on our home page

*Note: If admitted to the Graduate School such students shall have as a condition attached to their admission the requirement of an additional examination which is arranged for and conducted by the Department of Foreign Languages at Tennessee Tech University. If the examination reveals that the student does not possess an adequate command of English, the student will be required to enroll in noncredit remedial English courses (ESL 1010-20) and will be required to reduce the graduate course load accordingly.
 
Step 2

All applicants for admission must meet the following requirements:

  • Verification of adequate financial support from parents or sponsors, including the amount and length of time funds will be provided.
  • Verification of sponsor's ability to provide support from a financial institution where funds are on deposit.
  • Submission of 3 letters of recommendation (true letters preferred over the PDF form)
  • Submit Official transcripts: Bachelor's degree and any institutions attended since that time. Official transcripts are sent directly from the institution to Tennessee Tech, not submitted by the student. International students may submit attested transcripts.

Non-immigrant students already in the U.S. must submit the following additional documents:

  • Photocopy of passport
  • Photocopy visa
  • Photocopy of I-94
  • Photocopy of all previously issued I-20s

Resident Alien

A lawful permanent resident of the United States (holder of a "green card") may be required to take the English Placement Test or other tests to determine proficiency in English and the necessity for taking courses in English.

 
  Step 3
 

All application materials become the property of the University and will not be returned to the applicant regardless of whether admission is approved or denied.
