There is no conditional admission for graduate students whose TOEFL scores are below 550 on the PBT or below 81 on the IBT. Students may be required to complete English as a Second Language course work (typically within the first year of study) if specified as a result of the English Proficiency Evaluation. Minimum IELTS Score Requirements for Graduate College Admission As an alternative to taking the TOEFL, students may take the International English Language Testing System (IELTS).
