These individuals are required to submit a GPA Statement and are encouraged to contact the Office of Admissions [link to email:admissions@actcm.edu] to discuss their options.
- Demonstrated competency in English, or a minimum score of 550 on the paper-based (PBT) TOEFL test for international students.
