What IELTS score do you need for Rivier University?

Students whose native language is not English must show proficiency with Duolingo 95, TOEFL 61 (3.5 on the new scoring model), IELTS 5.5 or PTE 49. Scores count as official only when sent directly to Rivier or electronically verifiable by Rivier. Some applicants may need higher scores depending on their educational background and program of entry. See international admissions.

A test may not be required if you already hold a high school, college or university degree from the US, have completed at least two years of full-time study in a US diploma or degree program, are a citizen of an Anglophone country, or completed English courses at a CEA-accredited institution. Rivier does not publish a country list, so ask admissions@rivier.edu whether your citizenship counts.

Transcripts from outside the US need a full course-by-course evaluation from a NACES or AICE member.

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