Verifying credentials

Note: If your acceptance has been partially based on self-report and/or unofficial credentials, these must be substantiated by official credentials before your enrollment at Texas A&M. If a substantial discrepancy exists within any of your credentials, your acceptance may be revoked and your enrollment permanently blocked.

Testing and language requirements

Prospective international students must have acceptable scores on the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT).

If your native language is not English, you must score above average on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). More information on these tests is available at www.toefl.org and www.ielts.org.

The MS-HRM program requires a minimum of 600 on the written TOEFL exam, 250 on the computerized version, or 100 on the TOEFL iBT. As an alternative to the TOEFL, international students may present an IELTS score of 7 or higher.

TOEFL scores should be sent directly from the testing service to Texas A&M University (code 6003). IELTS scores should be sent to Measurement and Research Services, 4239 TAMU, College Station, TX 77843-4239.

Scores for either exam taken must be from a test date within two years of the date we receive your application.
