English Language Competency
Applicants, for whom English is not their first
language, are required to demonstrate evidence of mastery of the
English language for graduate study. The standard for this is through
the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
The seminary requires a minimum score of 25 on
each of the four section tests of the TOEFL-iBT (600 on the paper-based
exam or 250 on the computer-based exam and a 4.5 writing score)
for admission to the Th.M. program. Admission to the MA in Counseling
or MA in Marital and Family Therapy programs requires scores of
20 (each) on the reading and writing sections and 25 (each) on the
speaking and listening sections of the TOEFL-iBt. For admission
to the MDiv, MA (other than the MA in Counseling/MFT), D.Min., or
D.Miss., the seminary requires a minimum score of 20 on each of
the four section tests of the TOEFL-iBT (550 on the paper-based
exam or 213 on the computer-based exam and a 3.5 writing score).
Under certain circumstances, the seminary may
accept scores from the Academic Section of the International English
Language Testing System of Cambridge University. Obtain the TOEFL
Bulletin by writing to TOEFL, Box 899, Princeton, NJ, 08540, USA
or by going to www.toefl.org on the web. Because the TOEFL exam
is given only a limited number of times each year, the applicant
should allow sufficient time for the results to be included in the
seminary admissions process. The institution code of Western Seminary,
to be written on the test paper, is 4968.
