English Language Proficiency
If your native language is not English, you may need to satisfy ODU’s English Proficiency Requirement. You can demonstrate English proficiency through a standardized test score, such as TOEFL, SAT, GRE, or Duolingo. If you successfully earned a degree from an institution in a country where English is the native language, this can also demonstrate proficiency.
