Admissions

What is the TOEFL test, and who is required to take if for admission to MTSU?

The TOEFL (pronounced TOE-full) is the Test of English as a Foreign Language. The test measures proficiency with written and spoken English only; it does not measure content knowledge for specific academic subject areas. All non-U.S. citizens are required to submit TOEFL scores unless they:

• are a citizen of Australia, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Jamaica, New Zealand, Bermuda, Trinidad and Tobago, or Canada (excluding Quebec).
• have a bachelor's or master's degree from a US institution.

In lieu of the TOEFL, you may submit an official report from ELS, EIKEN, IELTS, or UMELI.  See the International Admissions website for more details.

Housing

What are my housing options?

• On Campus Housing
  
  Students planning to attend MTSU may want to live on campus.  To do so, you must first submit a Housing application. This is a separate process from applying for admission to the university.

• Off Campus Housing
