Possibly, but it is not required. Not all international applicants need to take an English proficiency test such as TOEFL, IELTS, and PTE. But like all Yale students, international students must be able to understand rapid, idiomatic English and to express themselves easily in both spoken and written English. If English is not your first language, please see our Standardized Testing page for information about language proficiency requirements at Yale.

Note: Students in countries where it is not possible to take the SAT or ACT exams (e.g. China and Afghanistan) must take an English proficiency test.
