International Student Policy
International students who wish to secure Georgia Teaching Certification and who qualify in all respects, including mastery of English, are encouraged to participate fully in their program of choice. For those international students who wish to complete an education program without being certified and/or who qualify in all respects except facility in English, an alternative, non-certification track is available.
Note: International students must first apply for admission to the University through the Office of International Admissions. Applications must be made at least three months prior to enrollment. The University's minimum English proficiency level is a score of 20 on each section of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The minimum composite TOEFL score is 80. Other information related to admission to the University may be found in the University Catalog. Once admitted to the University, an international student may apply for admission to the Tift College of Education's Teacher Education Program, following the admission procedures established for all students. See Admission to Teacher Candidacy. |
