English Language Proficiency Policy
All applicants to The New England Institute of Art whose first language is not English must demonstrate competence in the English language. Demonstration that English is an applicant's "first" language can be satisfied if the applicant submits a diploma from secondary school (or above) in a system in which English is the official language of instruction. If English is not the applicant's "first" language, the applicant will need to meet the minimum English Language Proficiency standard through submission of an official minimum score on the written Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or its TOEFL computer-based or the new TOEFL Internet-based equivalent. The minimum written TOEFL score required is 525 (or 197 on the computer-based TOEFL) for diploma programs OR 525 (or 197 on the computer-based TOEFL) for all associate- and bachelor-level degree programs. You must send an official copy of your TOEFL score report to the school. TOEFL code 2188.
