What IELTS score do you need for Canisius University?

Undergraduates can also use SAT 560 Evidence-Based Reading and Writing or ACT 42 in English and Reading combined. Canisius also accepts TOEFL iBT Paper Edition and TOEFL Essentials.

Undergraduates are exempt if they completed at least two years of study at a US or Canadian secondary school studying academic English, or if they are transfer students with two terms of English composition at C or better at an accredited US or Canadian college (except Quebec), excluding ESL and foundation classes. Native English speakers who are citizens of the listed exempt countries and were educated entirely in English may also be exempt. Canisius reserves the right to ask for a score anyway.

Canisius says it does not offer English as a second language support, which is why it requires proof of proficiency. Tests older than two years must be retaken. Letters of mode of instruction are not accepted as proof of English.

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