Admission

English Proficiency Counseling

Graduate students who score 213 and higher on the TOEFL (and do not intend to become Graduate Assistants-Teaching at any point during their graduate programs) may be asked to go through English Proficiency Counseling prior to registration for Texas A&M courses. The counseling sessions will be conducted by English Language Institute (ELI) instructors during the time period in which the ELPE is administered. In the interviews, the counselors will discuss any concerns the students may have regarding their language ability and then make recommendations about whether further language training is advisable for the students to be successful in their Texas A&M University courses. These recommendations will not require the students to take ELI courses. Instead, the students will discuss the recommendations with their Departmental Graduate Advisors, who will make further recommendations regarding the need for additional language training.
