Official English Proficiency Scores (If applicable)
All graduate students, including SUNY Korea graduates, applying for a Graduate Teaching Assistant (TA) position are required to submit official English proficiency test scores (TOEFL iBT, IELTS Speaking, or Gateway), regardless of the institution they attended or the language of instruction.
Please note that submission of these scores does not guarantee a TA appointment, but will be considered as part of the overall review process.
※ US citizens may be exempt from this requirement.
