What IELTS score do you need for Mercyhurst University?

IELTS gives overall and section scores in whole or half bands, such as 5.5 or 6.0. A 5.5 falls below a 5.8 minimum, so in practice you need 6.0 in every section. If your result is 5.5 in one section, ask the International Student Office before you apply.

The page does not list a waiver for English-medium schooling, so plan on a test unless the office confirms otherwise.

Undergraduates transferring from a university outside the United States need a certified credit evaluation from WES, ECE or SpanTran. Graduate applicants need that evaluation for their transcripts, plus a current resume and a statement of purpose. All international applicants upload a bank affidavit, certification of finances and passport photo page after applying.

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