Framingham State PTE minimums by level
From the undergraduate international applicants page and the graduate international applicants page.
| Programme or band | PTE overall | Minimum per skill |
|---|---|---|
| Undergraduate | 50 | None stated |
| Graduate | 55 | None stated |
Test rules and how to send your score
The graduate page asks for the approved minimum score within the six months prior to application submission, which is much shorter than PTE's own two-year reporting window. The undergraduate page gives no time limit. Neither page mentions PTE Academic Online, PTE Core or a Pearson institution code; the graduate page prints codes for TOEFL (3519) and IELTS (1904) only.
On the same pages, IELTS is 6 for undergraduates and 6.5 for graduate study, so PTE 50 sits beside IELTS 6 and PTE 55 beside IELTS 6.5.

If you fall short
For graduate applicants, testing may be waived after two full academic years at an English-medium college or university, or after advanced coursework in Framingham State's English Language Program (ELP) or a comparable approved partner ESL programme. The undergraduate page does not describe a conditional route.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Framingham State programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
