What IELTS score do you need for Cal State Fullerton?

Regardless of citizenship, applicants whose education was not in a majority English-language country must prove English proficiency before an admission decision is made. Art with a concentration in Graphic Design asks for IELTS 6.5, TOEFL 85 or 4.5, PTE 58 or Duolingo 115. Scores are valid for two years from the test date. For IELTS, choose "Cal State Apply" as the e-delivery account and self-report your score and TRF number; TOEFL goes to code 4589. See Graduate Studies.

The waiver covers a bachelor's degree from a country where English is the native language, from a list that includes Australia, Canada (except Quebec), Ghana, Ireland, Kenya, New Zealand, Nigeria, Singapore and the UK. India is not on it. Conditional admission for English is not stated by Cal State Fullerton; its "provisional admission" concerns official documents sent after admission.

Undergraduates need TOEFL 61 (3.5 on the new scale; Home and Paper editions accepted), IELTS Academic 5.5, PTE Academic 43 or Duolingo 110, valid within two years before 30 March for fall or 31 August for spring. First-year applicants are waived with three years of high school taught in English in the US or a country where English is the native language of instruction, or with SAT Reading and Writing 550, ACT English 22, AP English 3 or IB English A Literature HL 4. See Admissions.

The US F-1 student visa sets no English test score of its own. What counts is the requirement Cal State Fullerton sets for admission, which leads to your Form I-20. For the wider picture of studying in the US with each test, see IELTS for the USA and PTE for the USA.

Requirements change between admission cycles. Check the CSUF Graduate Studies international applicants page again before you book a test, and check your own program page, which can set a higher bar.
