What IELTS score do you need for Montclair State University?

Graduate applicants who are not eligible for a waiver submit TOEFL iBT 83, IELTS 6.5, Duolingo 105, PTE-A 53 or iTEP 4.5. Conditional admission for English is not stated by Montclair State.

The test is waived for citizens of listed countries such as Australia, Canada (excluding Quebec), Ghana, Ireland, Kenya, New Zealand, Nigeria, South Africa and the UK, or after one academic year of full-time study at a US institution or at a university in or following the curricula of a listed country. India is not on the list, and Montclair says proof of medium of instruction in English by itself is not sufficient. See international graduate applicants.

First-year applicants submit TOEFL 4.0 on the new version (70 on the old), IELTS 6.0, Duolingo 95, PTE-A 48, iTEP 3.7, SAT Reading and Writing 480 or ACT English 22. Graduating from a high school in the US or a listed country, or an international school following one of those systems, such as IGCSE or IB, can waive it. See international first-year applicants.

The US F-1 student visa sets no English test score of its own. What counts is the requirement Montclair State 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 Montclair State international graduate applicants page again before you book a test, and check your own program page, which can set a higher bar.
