Applicants must comply with the Murray State University requirements
(see the Graduate Bulletin). Additional requirements for unconditional
admission are as follows:
an undergraduate major in English or a modern foreign language or approval by
the TESOL Advisory Committee;
at least 12 semester hours in one modern foreign language or demonstrated
proficiency at that level (permission may be granted to complete this
proficiency during the program; for non-native speakers, language may be
English);
for non-native speakers of English, a TOEFL score of 235 (575 on the
paper-based test) or higher or a previous degree earned from an accredited
institution in the United States or successful completion of Level 6 of the
Murray State University English as a Second Language Program;
students who score between 195-234 on the TOEFL exam (between 525 and 574 on
the paper-based test) but meet all other conditions for admittance may be
admitted conditionally by the TESOL Advisory committee. Under these conditions,
students will have their English language skills assessed by the director of
the TESOL program immediately after they arrive on campus to determine if
further classes are needed to develop English language proficiency. After
assessment the students may be assigned to full-time language study in the
English as a Second Language Program
, or permitted to take graduate-level classes on a conditional basis along with
further designated language study, or permitted to begin graduate study without
further restrictions.
