STEP 2
Applicants to the graduate program, other than AUB graduates and graduates of recognized colleges or universities in North America, Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand, must meet the English Language Proficiency Requirement (ELPR). These applicants must sit for an English Exam (EEE, TOEFL or IELTS) to satisfy AUB English Language Proficiency Requirements (ELPR) for admission.

Students are advised to sit for one of the English Exam as early as possible as many applicants do not pass the test the first time and may need to repeat it.
Upon registering for these tests, applicants must specify that results be sent to the AUB Office of Admissions.
Applicants are required to submit their English Language Proficiency Test scores OR the registration slip of the test with the Scholarship Application.
