This test is taken during orientation, prior to the start of each academic term. The exam is administered by the university’s International Office (for Undergraduates) and by the School of Business and Entrepreneurship (for graduate students).

Based on placement exam scores, students will either: (1) enter directly into their academic program or (2) enroll in English language courses either in conjunction with or prior to their degree program.

Note: International students’ course schedules will not be finalized before taking the English language placement exam

Graduate MBA Students:
