International Admissions

We are now accepting Graduate applications for Fall 2024, and Spring 2025.* *Please contact your department for application open terms and deadlines.

Our community welcomes you

Each year, the university enrolls approximately 1,700 international students. We are proud to offer extensive support and services to our international population. International applicants should plan to apply early so they have ample time to obtain their immigration documents and make living arrangements in the U.S. Any F-1/J-1 students planning to obtain their I-20/DS-2019 should contact the Center for Global Engagement at [email protected] . Please check with your department regarding deadlines. 

International Admissions Requirements

In addition to meeting graduate university admissions requirements, international applicants must also meet the following University requirements to be considered for admission. 

English Language Proficiency Requirement

Official English Language Proficiency results are required of all international applicants whose native language is not English. The following are the minimum scores required for admission to the University, although some departments require higher scores at the graduate level: 

Internet based TOEFL ( IBTOEFL ): 80 

Paper based TOEFL ( TOEFL ): 550 

International English Language Testing System ( Academic IELTS ): 6.5 

Pearson Test of English ( PTE ): 55 

Duolingo : 120 (Summer 2022 and Forward)

Cambridge C1 Advanced Level : 180  (Fall 2022 and Forward)

Michigan Language Assessment : 55  (Fall 2022 and Forward)

Although official scores are required, most departments will begin to review your application with self-reported scores, while they are waiting for the official scores to arrive. You can self-report your scores on your Online Status Page, after you submit your application. 

The English Language Proficiency requirement can be waived, at the University-level, for applicants who have earned a minimum of a BA or higher in the US or in an English-Speaking Country. Please note, your department may still require proof of English-Language proficiency. *A variety of countries are exempt from the English language proficiency requirement.

Transcript and Credential Evaluation Requirements

All transcripts/academic records that are not in English must be accompanied by certified English translations. 

To be considered "certified," documents should be true copies that are signed and dated by an educational official familiar with academic records. Any translated record should be literal and not an interpretive translation. Documents signed by a notary or other public official with no educational affiliation will not be accepted. 

If the transcript/academic record does not indicate the degree earned and date the degree was awarded, separate proof of degree is required. 

International applicants or degrees earned from international institutions must submit their official transcripts through the SpanTran pathway portal, or from another NACES approved evaluator. SpanTran has created a custom application for Florida State University that will make sure you select the right kind of evaluation at a discounted rate. Florida State University recommends SpanTran as our preferred credential evaluation because it offers an easy way to streamline the application process.

Please read more about our general transcript requirements on our  Graduate Admissions page. 

International Transfer Credit

International transfer credit is awarded for coursework completed at an accredited (recognized) institution of higher learning. No credit is awarded for technical, vocational, or below-college-level coursework, or courses completed with grades below "D-." An official course-by-course evaluation is required for all academic records from non-U.S. institutions. We recommend the evaluation be done by a member of the  National Association of Credential Evaluation Services .

The Conservatives have pledged to give £20m to 30 towns across the country - a move the Labour Party has branded a "reckless, unfunded commitment".

Rishi Sunak's party said it would add the towns - many of which are based in the Midlands and the North - to its existing long-term plan for towns, increasing the number that will receive financial support to more than 100. 

The Tories said local people in each area would decide how the money would be spent, through new town boards composed of community leaders, businesspeople, local government and the local MP. 

The prime minister said the "bold action" would "transform" 30 towns, as he claimed Labour's record in government "shows they don't care about towns - neglecting their needs, allowing them to decline and focusing instead on cities."

"Sir Keir Starmer has no plan to unlock opportunities in towns and would take us back to square one," he said.

Some of the towns proposed to be added to the scheme include Tamworth, Preston, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Corby, Halifax, Bognor Regis, Newtown, Flint, Perth and Newry.

Labour critical of funding as leaders embark on tour

Labour argued the funding ringfenced to pay for the investment was the same as that being used to fund recent announcements to create a new tax-free allowance for pensioners and the National Service plan that would compel young adults to take part in either community or military training.

Deputy leader Angela Rayner will promote the party's own "power-up agenda" with a 5,000-mile battle bus tour on Saturday, where she will be joined by Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer and shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves. 

Labour has said its Take Back Control Act will devolve power from Westminster and give communities a new right to request more powers.

Read the full story below...

Away from Diane Abbott, there have been rows over the Labour candidates for other seats.

One of these was Faiza Shaheen, who was set to run against the Conservative Sir Iain Duncan Smith in Chingford and Woodford Green.

In 2019, Ms Shaheen only just lost out to Sir Iain by fewer than 2,000 votes.

But she was told this week that Labour would not be endorsing her as their candidate.

Ms Shaheen has since accused the party of racism, Islamophobia and bullying.

Speaking at a rally today, Ms Shaheen hinted she could run as an independent in the seat.

She told a crowd: "I don't know what else to say apart from to say I'm going to make some decisions for the team over the next few days, and I may ask you to do something really big for all of us - and we may have to come together and take that fight on together.

"Because I can't do it on my own."

The full list of candidates for Chingford and Woodford Green is:

• Chris Brody, Green Party;
• Josh Hadley, Liberal Democrats;
• Yousaff Khan, Workers Party of Britain;
• Paul Luggeri, Reform UK;
• Shama Tatler, Labour;
• Iain Duncan Smith, Conservative Party.

Launching his plans for Great British Energy, a state-owned clean power company, Sir Keir Starmer promised the new entity would reduce bills, create jobs and deliver increased energy security.

Specifically, Labour's press release for an idea first announced in October 2022 said: "Great British Energy will cut energy bills for good, as families face the threat of £900 annual energy price spikes under Tories."

That claim is based on analysis of fluctuations in the energy price cap set by Ofgem and the prospect of soaring energy prices, triggered by global events - specifically, the Russian invasion of Ukraine - being repeated.

Labour's analysis of the price cap calculates that in the two years since April 2022, consumers have paid around £1,880 - or around £900 a year - more than they would if prices had remained at pre-war levels. The government also spent £94bn on the energy price guarantee, further capping bills at £2,500 per household.

While the £900 figure is correct, and energy bills remain well above the long-term average, the likelihood of further spikes depends on your reading of world events.

Where Labour and the Conservatives agree is that the way to increase energy security and cut bills is to accelerate the transition to renewable and low carbon sources of power. Where they differ is how fast that should happen.

In the wake of the Joe Biden's proposal on a deal between Israel and Hamas, Foreign Secretary David Cameron has endorsed what was put forward.

Posting on social media, Lord Cameron said: "With a new hostage agreement on the table, Hamas must accept this deal so we can see a stop in the fighting, the hostages released and returned to their families and a flood of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

"As we've long argued a stop in the fighting can be turned into a permanent peace if we are all prepared to take the right steps. Let's seize this moment and bring this conflict to an end."

Ali turns back to our panel to talk about Labour's green energy plan ( read more here ).

Andrew Fisher, who worked for Jeremy Corbyn, says Labour's rhetoric about getting to net zero by 2030 is "massively ambitious" - but GB Energy is "a little bit underpowered".

He notes that Labour scaled back its £28bn green investment plans to about £6bn - but want to hit the same goals.

This is "not credible", Mr Fisher claims.

He also highlights that it is not clear what GB Energy will be - whether it's an energy company or investment vehicle or something else.

Claire Pearsall, a former Conservative adviser, highlights the difficulty in getting new onshore wind farms or solar farms due to planning restrictions.

She adds that Labour needs to be more clear about what will happen with energy bills while they work on GB Energy - and whether they will go up before going down.

Tobias Ellwood, the Conservative candidate and former Defence Committee chair, is speaking to Ali about this evening's news conference from the White House ( read more here ) in which Joe Biden laid out a proposed deal between Hamas and Israel.

He says the announcement from the US president is "very welcome indeed" - highlighting Washington's analysis that Hamas is no longer capable of carrying out an attack like 7 October.

The deal has come together thanks to the work of the US secretary of state, as well as people like Tony Blair and Foreign Secretary Lord David Cameron behind the scenes, Mr Ellwood says.

The Tory candidate says what was revealed today is "the most viable plan I've seen put on the table that has the potential to move forward".

Asked if he believes Benjamin Netanyahu has been sidelined, Mr Ellwood says the Israeli prime minister is "very much involved", but that his future is "a big question".

Ali Fortescue turns to our panel to discuss today's events - notably Diane Abbott being allowed to stand as a Labour MP.

Andrew Fisher, who worked for Jeremy Corbyn when he was Labour leader, launches a stinging attack on the current leadership.

He says Ms Abbott has been treated "horrifically".

Mr Fisher notes how the row has buried the policies Labour was trying to announce in the first week of the election campaign.

He says Labour has "lied through their teeth and been exposed".

Ali notes that Labour would deny the accusation they have lied.

Claire Pearsall, a former Conservative adviser, says the issue has "of course" been good for the Tory party, as it takes the spotlight off the government.

It also backs up Rishi Sunak's attack line of saying Sir Keir cannot make a decision.
