ABSTRACT

The aim of this research is to identify university students’ English language level as a foreign language. This is to discern if Mexican students in a public university are ready to enter into national and international graduate programs considered as high-quality programs. In order to know students’ English level, it was asked to the institution the results of a domestic English test applied to all senior students who applied for this test as a requirement to obtain the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree in different fields of knowledge. Results have exposed the limited knowledge and usage that students have of English as a foreign language (EFL) becomes a constraint to enter into high-quality graduate programs, either national or international programs.
