Here you will find many resources that can help you apply for admission to degree programs after MELP
The majority of full-time IEP students exiting MELP get admitted to degree programs in the United States. Our goal is to help students meet their academic goals. In addition to the University of Minnesota, some students seek admission to other colleges and universities. Here is how MELP can help:
1. Students at MELP improve their English language skills to meet the English proficiency requirements for study at a college or university.
2. MELP can make English proficiency recommendations for students who are applying to degree programs to at the University of Minnesota. Undergraduate and Graduate Admissions* accept the MELP End of Term Assessment or completion of all Level 4: High-Advanced ESL classes in the Intensive English Program with an average grade of 80% or higher.
*Please note that these scores are the minimum University requirements for admission to Graduate School. Check with your graduate program of interest to determine if they have additional English proficiency requirements.
