International Students

Thank you for your interest in the Bachelor of Science/Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Medical Laboratory Sciences Program. UT Southwestern is a dynamic and diverse learning community that welcomes hundreds of students from around the world each year. Students from outside the United States must meet several additional requirements.

At this time, the program is not accepting new applicants.

Academic Prerequisites

International students must complete all of the program prerequisites, even if a medical degree has already been earned in another country.

Transcript Evaluations

The transcripts of international students are evaluated as part of the admission process. These are a few of the companies that provide that service.

Test of English as a Foreign Language

International students are required to achieve a minimum score of 600 on the paper exam, 250 on the computer-based exam, and 100 on the iBT exam. TOEFL scores older than two years require that the test be re-taken.

Visas and Immigration

The UT Southwestern International Affairs Office has a host of resources for international students and can provide additional information about visas and immigration.
