What IELTS score do you need for Florida Gulf Coast University?

PTE Academic is not listed on either page. For undergraduates, the page lists attending a US high school for four years and graduating, or earning a degree from a US college or university.

For graduate applicants, the page lists alternatives to a test score: English Composition I and II (ENC 1101 and ENC 1102, or equivalent) with a grade of C or higher; at least 60 credits completed at an accredited institution; a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution where instruction was in English, if enrolled for at least four years; or an English proficiency assessment by certified ESL faculty covering listening, reading, writing and speaking.

The undergraduate page says scores must be current, not more than two years old, and sent to FGCU officially. It adds that meeting the minimum does not guarantee admission. The undergraduate page also links to FGCU's Intensive English Language Program.

The US F-1 student visa sets no English test score of its own. What counts is the requirement FGCU sets for admission, which leads to your Form I-20. For the wider picture, see IELTS for the USA.

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