What TOEFL score do you need for SIU Carbondale?

Undergraduate TOEFL score reports must be sent directly by the testing agency; uploaded copies are not accepted. Graduate applicants can upload an unofficial score with the application, but official scores must reach the Graduate School before the first term. The graduate test must be taken no more than 24 months before the term you are applying for.

Any non-native English speaker given a graduate assistantship with teaching duties must pass the International Teaching Assistant (ITA) Interview first, and a waiver of the English test for admission does not waive it.

For comparison, the undergraduate page asks for IELTS 6.0 and the graduate page asks for IELTS 6.5.

Undergraduates who meet the academic standard can receive a conditional offer and start in the Center for English as a Second Language (CESL); its Certificate of Completion then meets the English requirement. Graduate applicants who meet everything except English can also be considered for conditional admission with their programme's support, and must submit a recent test score, however low.

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