The WSU Graduate School requires the TOEFL for international student admission. The minimum score for our department is 580 or 93 on the TOEFL, we accept IELTS at level 7. The School evaluates applicants for admission to the PhD program based on college transcripts, GPA, the score on the general GRE, letters of recommendation, a statement of purpose, and TOEFL score, if applicable. Also, additional materials such as publications or research activity may be submitted. The EECS Graduate Studies Committee will consider these materials and students judged most qualified will be offered admission. (Admission does not guarantee assistantship support.)

A grade point average equivalent to a U.S. grade of “B” or better is required. The WSU Graduate School uses a 4-point scale format which indicates a 3.00 = B.
