There is a committee within each department that will review the student's credentials and then will determine whether or not if they wish to "recommend" a student for admission. The final admission decision is made by the Graduate School.

If the student's TOEFL score is below the required total, the student will be required to take the English Proficiency Test upon their arrival to K-State. If they do not pass the English Proficiency Test, the student will be required to enroll in the recommended English classes.
