<p class="xmsonormal">Thanks for asking for this—it’s also been on my to do list. Here’s the UNO graduate list (UG also includes Ghana):<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Canada (except Quebec), Cayman Islands, Dominica, Gibraltar, Grenada, Guyana, Republic of Ireland, Jamaica, Montserrat, New Zealand,
Nigeria, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad & Tobago, Turks and Caicos Islands, U.K. (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales), U.S.A.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">As for logic, I inherited the list and was told it reflected the CIA list of countries with English as the official language but I haven’t found that to be the case. I would also be curious if other schools waive English proficiency tests
if the student completed an undergraduate degree completely in English. <o:p></o:p></p>
