Application to Academic Programs at MU

Students who want to apply to both the IEP and an academic program must complete separate application forms. One of the requirements for admission to an academic program at MU is that a student must satisfy MU's English language requirement. The TOEFL requirement for admission to most undergraduate programs is 173 (computer-based TOEFL) or 500 (paper-based TOEFL). However, one advantage of a student's studying in the IEP is that for most undergraduate programs a good recommendation from the IEP can substitute for MU's minimum required TOEFL score. Applicants to graduate programs must contact the individual departments to determine their requirements for admission. (link to list of undergraduate and graduate degree programs)
