English Proficiency
Johns Hopkins University requires students to have adequate English
proficiency for their course of study. Students must be able to read,
speak, and write English fluently upon their arrival at the University.
Successful study demands the understanding oral lectures and taking comprehensive
notes during lectures. Applicants whose native language is not English
must submit proof of their proficiency in English before they can be
offered admissions and before a visa certificate can be issued. Johns
Hopkins prefers a minimum score of 600 (paper-based), 250 (computer-based),
and 100 (internet-based) on the Test of English as a Foreign Language
(TOEFL). Results should be sent directly to the appropriate program by
the Educational Testing Service (ETS) which administers TOEFL.
Test of English as Foreign Language (TOEFL)
International applicants must submit an original TOEFL
score (not a student or photocopy). A TOEFL Bulletin of Information and
Registration Form can be obtained in a number of cities outside the United
States. The Bulletin is often available at one of the following: American
embassies and consulates, U.S. Information Agency (USIA), U.S. educational
commissions and foundations, and bi-national centers. In addition, several
private organizations distribute TOEFL bulletins, such as: Institute
of International Educational (IIE)-l American-Korean Foundation; America-Mideast
Educational and Training Services (AMIDEAST), CITO in the Netherlands;
