Proof of English language skill
For
students for whom English is not your first language, GC requires
a score of at least 550 (213 on computer-based TOEFL), or
C or higher on the G.C.E. English language exam.
Ask
TOEFL to send a score report directly to Goshen College.
The institutional code is 1251.
If your score is less than 550 (213 on computer-based TOEFL)
you should request information on intensive English language
programs.
For students with a TOEFL score below 550 (213 on the computer-based
TOEFL), we recommend the following ESL programs with which
Goshen College has cooperative admission arrangements. Goshen
College can issue a conditional 1-20 which would admit a student
to the cooperating English program and then into Goshen College
for regular collegiate studies upon reaching a satisfactory
level of English skill. See also the
resources
for international students page.
