General language information is provided below. Specific admission requirements and minimum language and test score requirements are listed by graduate school.
Advanced language skills in a second language are required for most graduate programs. Applicants are required to demonstrate that they meet the minimum language requirements in one of our core languages or in an approved non-core language. Proficiency may be documented, for all languages except English, with official transcripts or explained in the Application for Admission. Required skills include reading, writing, speaking and listening. Core languages: Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), English, French, German, Japanese, Korean (Translation and Interpretation only), Russian, and Spanish.
Non-core languages may be studied if permission is granted by the Graduate School of Language and Educational Linguistics (e-mail languages@miis.edu or call 831-647-4185). An additional fee will be charged each semester of study for a non-core language. (Non-core languages cannot be approved for Translation and Interpretation programs.)
Non-native Speakers of English must submit an official TOEFL or IELTS score report. Applicants who are not certain whether they are required to submit a TOEFL or IELTS score report should contact the Admissions Office to discuss their language background.
