The University of Chicago

The University of Chicago (U of C, UC, UChicago, or simply Chicago) is a private research university in Chicago, Illinois. It was founded in 1890. We empower individuals to challenge conventional thinking in pursuit of original ideas. Students in the College develop critical, analytic, and writing skills in our rigorous, interdisciplinary core curriculum. Through graduate programs, students test their ideas with UChicago scholars, and become the next generation of leaders in academia, industry, nonprofits, and government. UChicago research has led to such breakthroughs as discovering the link between cancer and genetics, establishing revolutionary theories of economics, and developing tools to produce reliably excellent urban schooling. We generate new insights for the benefit of present and future generations with our national and affiliated laboratories: Argonne National Laboratory, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.Since 1913, the University of Chicago has been continuously accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association.International students at UChicago come from over 100 countries and comprise 21% of the University’s student population. They are integral to the diversity of the UChicago community and provide essential perspective to all manner of campus conversations. As an international applicant, you will apply in the same manner as any other first-year applicant, with an additional English proficiency test requirement. Your application will be read in the context of where you attended high school, whatever your citizenship - Connect with The University of Chicago on Univariety today.

Admission Criteria & Eligibility

English Proficiency Testing 

  1. Competence in English must be demonstrated in order to qualify for admission. All international applicants whose native language is not English are required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), or the Pearson Test of English (PTE). Our TOEFL and College Board code is 1832. Reports of other tests are usually not accepted.
  2. The University of Chicago only admits students who have demonstrated a superior level of English language competence: we strongly recommend a score of 100 or higher on the Internet-Based TOEFL or 600 or higher on the Paper-Based TOEFL. Minimum required scores on the IELTS (students must take the Academic test, not the General Training test) are an overall score of 7, with subscores of 7 each. The minimum acceptable score on the PTE is 70.
  3. The only exception to the English proficiency test requirement is for applicants who for two or more years have attended a high school or college where the primary language of instruction is English. UChicago does not offer an ESL program for admitted students.
