No single factor in the consideration for admission will be more important than a student's ability to read, write, speak and understand the English language. Course work at The Catholic University of America requires university-level English language proficiency and skills. The Catholic University of America, therefore, requires all applicants whose native language is not English to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam before they can be considered for final admission. Students should have their test results sent directly to The Catholic University of America.

The Catholic University of America verifies test scores and does not tolerate fraud or cheating related to English Proficiency in the application and admissions process.
