For transfer applicants in the 2022-2023 admission cycle, Brown is test optional.
If you applied to Brown for first-year admission in the past and you wish to use the official test scores that you submitted with your prior application, then you do not need to resend those scores.
English language proficiency must be achieved before a student is admitted. Brown does not offer courses in English as a Second Language for its undergraduates and does not accept, on a provisional basis, students who are deficient in English. We highly recommend that international applicants take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), or the Duolingo and arrange for Brown to receive the official results. A minimum score of 100 on the TOEFL internet-based exam or 600 on the paper-based exam, a minimum score of 8.0 on the IELTS, or a minimum score of 125 on the Duolingo is expected in most cases. As your safety is our first concern, we do not expect you to sit for any of these examinations in person.
