Countries currently meeting this above requirement are: United States, Australia,
  Belize, Canada, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Nigeria, plus a few nations in the Commonwealth Caribbean (Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, and Trinidad and Tobago).

• If they are applying to 911ºÚÁϱ¬ÁÏÍø through an agency or a partner university, there may be other ways that they can meet the English proficiency requirement that are outlined in 911ºÚÁϱ¬ÁÏÍø's agreement with the agency or university.
