Important Information for International Applicants to the M.F.A. in Dance

In order to be employed as an Academic Student Employee, you must also demonstrate your proficiency in spoken English with an oral English proficiency exam. This is true even if you have earned an undergraduate degree in the United States or another English-speaking country. The TOEFL iBT includes an oral English proficiency exam. See English Proficiency for Teaching Assistantships for detailed information about this requirement and contact Graduate Division if you have any questions.

Applicants should take the test early in the Fall so that that their scores will be received by the Department of Dance by the January application  deadline. The applicant must meet the Score Requirements for Admission Consideration  and that score must be received by the Dance Department by the department's January application deadline in order for the applicant to be admitted to the audition or to have his/her audition DVD viewed by the admissions committee. Applicants whose scores do not meet the UCI Score Requirements for Admission Consideration by the January deadline will not be considered for admission and will not be admitted to the audition.
