- International applicants must also take the Test of English Fluency (TOEFL)
INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS: An international applicant is anyone who is not a United States citizen or Permanent Resident. If you are able to answer "yes" to the following four questions, you are eligible to apply to graduate study at the University of Washington.
- Do you have, or will you by the time you begin your graduate studies, the equivalent of at least a four year U.S. bachelor's degree?
- Have you taken or do you plan to take the required tests (GRE, TOEFL)?
- Do you have funding sources to provide the approximately $35,835.00. (U.S., 2006-07) per year (excluding summer quarter) necessary for all expenses of attending?
Assistance in answering these questions may be found in an International Student preliminary evaluation questionnaire.
We welcome and value international students and hope you decide it is worth the extra effort necessary to submit an application.
