What PTE score do you need for Chicago State University?

The undergraduate page asks for a valid English proficiency score from the past two years. The graduate page asks for an official Pearson score report. Neither page mentions PTE Academic Online or PTE Core, and neither prints a Pearson institution code, so send your score to Chicago State through your Pearson account and confirm receipt with admissions.

On the same pages, IELTS Academic is 6 for undergraduates and 6.0 overall for graduate study, so the PTE minimum is the PTE route to the same level. Undergraduates can also use TOEFL iBT 68, iTEP Academic Plus 3.7, ACT 18 or SAT 960.

Undergraduates are exempt if they completed secondary education where English is the primary language or medium of instruction, or earned at least 24 semester credit hours at an accredited US college. The Graduate School has an English Proficiency Waiver Application form on its requirements page. Neither page describes a conditional admission or pathway programme with a PTE entry point.

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