Admission

English Proficiency Counseling

A graduate student who scores 213 and higher on the TOEFL (and does not intend to become Graduate Assistants-Teaching at any point during his/her graduate program) 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 student may have regarding his/her language ability and then make recommendations about whether further language training is advisable for the student to be successful in his/her Texas A&M University courses. These recommendations will not require a student to take ELI courses. Instead, the student will discuss the recommendations with his/her Departmental Graduate Advisors, who will make further recommendations regarding the need for additional language training.
