Jacksonville University PTE scores by level
From JU's undergraduate English proficiency page and the graduate international admissions page.
| Programme or band | PTE overall | Minimum per skill |
|---|---|---|
| Undergraduate | 56 | No per-skill minimum printed |
| Graduate (general standard) | 59 | No per-skill minimum printed |
| Graduate programmes with higher rules (for example Orthodontics) | Check the programme | Set by the programme |
Test rules and how to report your score
Neither page gives a Pearson code or mentions PTE Academic Online, PTE Core or a validity period.
IELTS needs 6.5 at both levels on the same pages, so JU asks for a higher PTE score from graduate applicants than from undergraduates while keeping the IELTS figure the same.

If you fall short
Undergraduates can have the requirement waived after 24 semester credits at an accredited US college, a C or better in English Composition there, or completion of an ESL programme at an accredited college. Graduate applicants can be waived with a degree or a year of study in the US or an English-speaking country, subject to review.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Jacksonville University programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
