Unless the applicant qualifies for an exemption as outlined below, any international applicant who earned his or her first law degree outside the U.S. must obtain a minimum TOEFL IBT score of 85 or a minimum IELTS score of 6.5, in order to be considered for admission to the LL.M. Programs at the University of Connecticut School of Law. However, if the applicant meets this required minimum but does not attain a score of 90 or higher on the TOEFL IBT or 7.0 or higher on the IELTS, the applicant must further substantiate proficiency in English through additional evidence of English language skills. This substantiation must include, but is not limited to, a strong writing sample in conjunction with an interview with an Admissions representative, conducted in-person, by phone, or online (using Skype or similar service). If the applicant’s TOEFL IBT /IELTS score is lower than the required minima of 85 on the TOEFL IBT or 6.5 on the IELTS (or if the applicant is unable to substantiate proficiency in English through additional evidence as defined in the prior paragraph), the applicant may nevertheless be considered for conditional admission. Such conditional admission would require the applicant to successfully complete an ESL program in the U.S. that is satisfactory to the Admissions Committee plus then obtain a new TOEFL IBT score of at least 85 or a new IELTS score of at least 6.5 before being permitted to undertake the LL.M. Program.
