ApplyBoard has made it easier for you to find programs based on your language proficiency level. The Eligibility Criteria filter now provides an increased range of language proficiency options, catering to more students and their specific needs.

Additional filters give students more flexibility to indicate whether they plan to take an ESL course or are exempt from language requirements because of previous education in English. This ensures that students are able to find a wider range of programs they are eligible for on the ApplyBoard platform.
