Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria

Below is the admission process for graduate international students. It should answer the majority of questions related to the process. This list is not intended to be either complete or permanent. It will be updated periodically.

Step 2
Does the degree program offer sufficient face-to-face classes for an I-20?

Federal law requires that a program offer a certain number of face-to-face classes before immigration documents can be issued for the student to come to campus. MSU offers programs that are entirely online and many online/hybrid classes.
Because programs are subject to change, it is advisable to check once per semester.

- IELTS 5.5, TOEFL 61, or Michigan Test 82, or
- From an English-speaking country listed on MSU’s website, or
