International students must list all colleges, universities and graduate and professional schools attended. Along with your application, students must enclose official transcripts (mark-sheets and degree certificates) in their native language and in English from all colleges and graduate or professional schools attended. Do not send transcripts from secondary schools. If your school issues one transcript for life, send a notarized photocopy of it, bearing the seal on each page.
English Proficiency
Applicants who have completed their undergraduate degree outside of the United States are required to provide proof of English proficiency as part of their application. We offer a variety of options for candidates to meet this requirement.
- Duolingo
Drexel LeBow is also accepting the Duolingo English Test to meet the English Proficiency Requirement for graduate programs. The Duolingo English Test is an online English proficiency test that can be taken online, on-demand and in under an hour for a small fee. The test is taken via a computer with a camera and includes a proficiency score, video interview and writing sample which are shared with our admissions team when you send your results to the LeBow College of Business. Certified results are available within 48 hours of the test. Drexel LeBow looks for a minimum score of 115 for the best chance of admission to our graduate programs.
- Test of English as a Foreign Language (ToEFL)
If your native language is not English and you do not hold a bachelor’s degree from a U.S. institution, there are several ways that you can display English proficiency, including through the Test of English as a Foreign Language (ToEFL) exam.
Some international students may be required to take and submit ToEFL scores for admissions consideration. The official score report needs to be sent directly from the Educational Testing Service to Drexel before an admissions decision can be made.
ToEFL scores must be less than two years old to be considered. Information regarding the ToEFL and GMAT can be obtained by writing to the Educational Testing Service, Princeton, NJ 08541; calling 609.921.9000; or visiting www.ets.org.
