What IELTS score do you need for Lindenwood University?

Graduate applicants send one of TOEFL 81, IELTS 6.5 or Duolingo 105, directly from the testing company; emailed or uploaded copies are not accepted as official. The same minimums apply to graduate transfer applicants. See admissions requirements.

Applicants from Lindenwood's listed countries are exempt: Anguilla, Antigua, Barbuda, Australia, the Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, Canada (except Quebec), the Cayman Islands, Dominica, England, Grenada, Guyana, Ireland, Jamaica, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Seychelles, the Shetland Islands, St. Kitts-Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, the Turks and Caicos Islands, the US (other than Puerto Rico), the US Virgin Islands and Wales. India, Pakistan, Nigeria and Kenya are not on it.

First-year, freshman-transfer and transfer applicants send one of ACT 20, SAT 1020, TOEFL 61, IELTS 5.5 or Duolingo 85, and the same country list exempts you. Because ACT and SAT also count, a strong SAT can replace an English test. See admissions requirements.

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

Requirements change between admission cycles. Check the Lindenwood international admissions requirements page again before you book a test, and check your own program page, which can set a higher bar.
