This mandatory plan is available to students through the University for approximately $500 per year.
PROFICIENCY IN ENGLISH: The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh requires that all foreign students take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). English proficiency examinations through consulate and information service offices do not supply this institution with the type of information needed to accurately assess a student's command of the English Language.
