What PTE score do you need for Brandeis University?

Both pages say TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo and PTE scores are valid for up to two years, must be valid on the date you submit, and that if your score will expire before the programme starts you must submit the official score before it expires. Neither page mentions PTE Academic Online or PTE Core.

One caution: the graduate page lists TOEFL, IELTS and Duolingo in its test requirement sentence but gives the PTE 68 recommendation a line later. The business school FAQ names PTE Academic directly. If you are applying outside the business school, confirm with your programme that PTE is accepted.

For comparison, both pages recommend IELTS 7.0 against PTE Academic 68.

Brandeis reviews applications holistically and encourages applicants who believe their English matches the academic demands to apply. Neither page describes a conditional admission or pathway programme.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Brandeis programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
