2)  Submit an official TOEFL score of at least 500 PBT, 173 CBT or 61 IBT from all non-native English-speaking students for full entry.  If you have a TOEFL score of 480 PBT, 157 CBT or 54 IBT you can be admitted to ICC but will be required to enter into developmental coursework/ESL.  A student must also gain entry if they demonstrate successful completion of at least one semester of English proficiency.  For more information about the TOEFL, go to http://www.toefl.org.
