What PTE score do you need for Monmouth University?

Monmouth University's graduate catalog lists PTE Academic at a minimum of 55, alongside IELTS 6 with no section below 5.5 and TOEFL iBT 79. The undergraduate catalog's test list does not include PTE, so undergraduates should plan on TOEFL, IELTS or another listed test, or ask admissions first.

Test rules and how to send your score

The graduate catalog lists PTE (Pearson Test of English Academic) at 55 without a section minimum. It does not mention PTE Academic Online, PTE Core, a validity period or a Pearson institution code.

In the same table, IELTS is 6 with no section below 5.5, so PTE 55 is the PTE route to that level. The undergraduate catalog lists TOEFL iBT 79, IELTS 6, MELAB 77 and Cambridge CAE, but not PTE.

If you fall short

The undergraduate catalog accepts completion of ELS Language Services Level 112 in place of a test and says Monmouth may issue conditional acceptance. It also notes that exceptions to graduate minimums may be made on the graduate programme director's recommendation, with Provost's Office approval.

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