If your TOEFL score is below Rowan's level

If you meet every requirement except the language score, Rowan can send a conditional admission letter. You may then join the non-credit English Language Program or send a qualifying test score later. You have up to two years to meet the English requirement; if you do not, you must reapply. Graduate conditional admission covers coursework-only master's programmes.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Rowan programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
