English Language Proficiency Requirement for Acceptance of International Students
To ensure maximum benefit from academic study, all applicants who have not earned a minimum of a high school diploma or equivalent at an institution where English is the medium of instruction must provide evidence of English language proficiency in order to be considered for admission to the university for undergraduate studies.
Evidence of English language proficiency in these cases is required in one of the following forms:
- Official results no older than two years on one of the following tests of English proficiency at or above the minimum score indicated:
- The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) minimum iBT score of 65 (PBT 500).
- The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) minimum score of 6.5.
- The Duolingo English Test (DET) minimum score of 95.
- For those already in Connecticut, language proficiency can also be assessed through the CCSU office of the Intensive English Language Program (IELP).
