The Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) is a part of a national federally funded effort by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The grant aims to increase the number of underrepresented minority (URM) students who receive bachelor's degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Underrepresented individuals include American Indian or Alaskan Native, African American, Hispanic/Latino, and Pacific Islander groups using NSF guidelines.

International applicants whose native language is not English and who do not have an undergraduate or graduate degree from a regionally accredited U.S. academic institution or an overseas academic institution of high standards whose language of instruction is English must demonstrate proficiency in English.  English proficiency is demonstrated by achieving minimum scores of 20 (60/90) for the Listening, Reading and Writing portions of the TOEFL Paper Delivered test, a score of 79 on the TOEFL-IBT exam, a band score of six (6) on the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), or a minimum score of 57 on the Pearson Test of English (PTE) or a minimum scaled score of 170 on the Cambridge English Qualification.  Regular admission to the graduate program in English, however, requires a minimum score of 100 on the TOEFL-IBT, a score of 7.5 on the IELTS, or a score of 68 on the PTE.  Applicants for regular degree status may not submit, and graduate programs may not accept, other tests of English ability in place of these tests (TOEFL, IELTS, PTE) without prior permission from the Graduate School.  Departments may set higher requirements, particularly for students who have applied for graduate teaching assistant positions.  International students who have an undergraduate or graduate degree from a regionally accredited U.S. academic institution or an overseas academic institution of high standards whose language of instruction is English are not normally required to take the TOEFL.  Academic programs may, however, require that international students with a U.S. degree take the TOEFL as an admission requirement. In addition, international students may be required by their academic advisors to take a university administered English writing placement test.  The results of this test will be used to advise students in regard to supplemental on-campus classes required to strengthen their English skills.
