Test of English as a Foreign Language
The TOEFL is an English Proficiency test. If the applicant received their degree from a college or university from any country NOT listed on the exempt list below, TEA requires they pass the TOEFL test to be eligible for admission to our program.
Please note: The TOEFL requirement is based on the country where the intern received their degree from and not where they hold citizenship. For example: The intern is a U.S. Citizen and speaks fluent English but attended school in Japan where they received their bachelor's degree. The intern will still be required to take the TOEFL exam because their degree is from a country NOT on the exempt list.
Listed below is the TEA official list of countries that can be exempted from the TOEFL.
*Guam is part of the U.S. Pacific Trust and does not require the TOEFL
