½­ÄÏÌåÓý

New first-year applicants must finish secondary school in their home country by the time of enrollment to be eligible for university (comparable to the completion of senior high school in the U.S.). A student who has previously enrolled in a post-secondary (higher education) institution is required to apply as a transfer student.

First-year undergraduate applicants should meet the minimum requirement of GPA 2.5 on a U.S. 4.0 scale. Check for specific majors' selective requirements. Students who want a particular program but do not meet the minimum requirements may be considered for the pre-major.

If you are applying for first-year or transfer admission, you are not required to submit standardized test scores (ACT or SAT) as per ½­ÄÏÌåÓý's Test-Optional Policy.

HONORS COLLEGE

International students with outstanding intellectual and creative ability are encouraged to apply to the Honors College. Honors students participate in special classes, taught by distinguished faculty, which are small and emphasize active participation.

All international undergraduate applicants must submit an English language proficiency test score to be considered for a ½­ÄÏÌåÓý State program unless they meet specific exceptions or apply for conditional admissions.

All undergraduate applicants must obtain one of the following:

• TOEFL iBT: 71; Home Edition iBT: 71 (MyBest scores not accepted)
• Revised PBT: 18 (average score)
• IELTS Academic and IELTS indicator: 6.0
• Duolingo:100
• PTE Academic: 48
• Completion of the ½­ÄÏÌåÓý ESL Center Level 8 Intensive English program with a minimum of 3.75 out of 4.0 GPA
• ELS Level 112 Intensive English Program completion
• SAT: a minimum of 510 evidence-based reading and writing
• ACT: a minimum of 21 in English

Conditional Admission

Undergraduate applicants who do not meet the minimum language score for admission may be admitted conditionally if they meet academic requirements.

Conditional Admission means students will take English language classes at our ESL Center before entering their programs.

Submitting your English test score

When applying as an undergraduate or graduate student to ½­ÄÏÌåÓý State, there are a variety of ways to submit your score depending on which type of test you took.

Students should request that ETS send official TOEFL scores directly to ½­ÄÏÌåÓý (institution code: 1367).

An IELTS or PTE report needs to be uploaded as a scanned PDF into our online application system.

All English scores will be verified for authenticity. Students with fraudulent documents will result in denial of admission or immediate dismissal.

English Proficiency Waivers

Depending on your educational background, you may be eligible for an English language proficiency waiver, meaning you do not need to take a language exam. See our country list and related requirements.
