Individuals with a bachelor's degree from an accredited four-year college or university are eligible to apply. They may enroll in the certificate program when they concurrently enroll in a graduate degree program at UC, or they may take courses as a non-matriculated student. Only candidates with an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale will be considered for admission. For IELTS, an overall band score of 6.5 is sufficient for graduate admission. TOEFL requirements vary based on the type of TOEFL test taken, and scores are valid for up to two years. The minimum university requirement is: 520 (paper-based test), or 190 (computer-based test), or 80 (internet-based test).
