Accepted English Proficiency and math Scores

English proficiency is required to be accepted. We are issuing I-20s to students with an accepted English proficiency score. If you don't have an accepted English proficiency score, you can take a free English placement test after you apply. All English Proficiency scores will be verified. Fraudulent documents will be rejected and admission to the college will be denied.
