Official Examination Scores To meet the English Language Proficiency Requirements, Eastern Kentucky University requires the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) of all applicants whose native tongue is other than English, including those from India. A minimum score of 550 on paper or 213 by computer is required to be accepted at Eastern. Please be aware that the Master of Public Health (MPH) requires a minimum score of 580 on paper or 237 by computer. To register you must obtain the TOEFL BULLETIN, which includes a registration form. BULLETINS are available in many locations outside the U.S., usually at American embassies and consulates, offices of the United States Information Service (USIS), United States educational commissions and foundations, binational centers, and many private organizations such as the Institute of International Education (IIE), African American Institute (AAI), American Friends of the Middle East (AFME), and American-Korean Foundation. In addition to the TOEFL, all programs require some form of entrance examination. The general portion of the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) can be used to meet the entrance examination requirements for all programs except the Master of Business Administration. Students applying for the MBA must submit the scores for the GMAT examination. Only official scores sent directly from the testing agency may be used to satisfy admission requirements. Some programs accept alternate exams to the GRE. Students are encouraged to contact their intented program of study for additional information about entrance examination requirements. Transcripts To be considered for entry as a graduate student, an applicant must have had at least four years of university level work following a twelve-year elementary-secondary program and have been awarded a degree equivalent to the four year baccalaureate degree awarded by U.S. Universities. The International institution of learning must be recognized by the American Associate of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers and individual credits may be evaluated for acceptance or transfer. Grade point standings will be determined by appropriate conversions scales from the individual institutions. When credentials are submitted in support of any application, they should be the original document (in certain rare cases, certified “true copies” bearing the United States Embassy official seal may be accepted.) An official translation must be attached to these records if they are in a language other than English. Credentials must include a record of all degrees earned, detailing all subjects taken and grades obtained. Remember that uncertified photocopies are not acceptable.
