In lieu of the TOEFL exam, you can submit scores from the Academic Modules of the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), which is jointly managed by the British Council, IDP:IELTS Australia, and the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations.

Our department requires the GRE General exam; no exceptions. GRE scores older than five years are not accepted. (For Fall 2016 admission the oldest acceptable exam date is October 2013). We do not require any subject tests. We encourage you to take the GRE as soon as possible to ensure that your scores arrive by the deadline. Domestic candidates from families with extremely low incomes may qualify for a waiver of GRE test fees. Consult your undergraduate financial aid office to determine whether your institution participates in the GRE Fee Waiver Program and whether you qualify. Fee waivers are not available directly from the Educational Testing Service or from the UC Berkeley Graduate Division Admissions office.
