In addition to the above requirements for First-Year or Transfer Admission, students who are citizens of countries where English is not the common language nor language of instruction at school, must demonstrate proof of English proficiency by submitting results of one of the following: Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), Duolingo (DET), or the Critical Reading section of the SAT.
Minimum score requirements:
- TOEFL: A minimum score of 61 (iBT) is required for admission. Students who score between 61 and 81 may be required to enroll in the Critical Academic Skills for English Language Learners course at the College. Students who score 81 or higher may be allowed to waive this course at the College, pending results from our Listening and Speaking Assessment.
- IELTS: A minimum score of 6.0 is required for admission. Students who score between 6.0 and 6.5 may be required to enroll in the Critical Academic Skills for English Language Learners course at the College. Students who score 6.5 or higher may be allowed to waive this course at the College, pending results from our Listening and Speaking Assessment.
- Minimum score of 450 on the Reading and Writing section of the SAT or a minimum of 18 on the English section of the ACT.
- Duolingo (DET): A minimum score of 90 or higher is required for admission. Students who score between 90 and 104 may be required to enroll in the Critical Academic Skills for English Language Learners course at the College. Students who score 110 or higher may be allowed to waive this course at the College, pending results from our Listening and Speaking Assessment.
ESOL courses are taught concurrently with other coursework and do not require additional semesters or delay graduation. Three credits from the Critical Academic Skills for English Language Learners course will count toward a Liberal Arts General Education elective.
International students who have earned university-level credit outside the United States and seek transfer credit are required to have their official transcripts evaluated by a foreign credentials evaluation service.
