What PTE score do you need for Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi?

The graduate catalogue asks test takers to have official scores sent to the Office of Recruitment and Admissions at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, 6300 Ocean Drive Unit 5774, Corpus Christi, TX 78412-5774. It gives no Pearson code, and none of the pages mentions PTE Academic Online, PTE Core or how long a PTE score stays valid.

On the same pages, IELTS Academic is 6.0 overall for both undergraduates and graduates, and TAMUCC does not accept IELTS General Training. TOEFL iBT is 73 (4 for tests from 21 January 2026) and Duolingo 100.

You do not need a test if you completed a bachelor's degree at a US or Canadian institution, or two years of English-taught instruction at a US or Canadian high school or college. Freshmen can also use SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing of 550, ACT English of 21, four years at a US high school, Cambridge C1 Advanced 175 or C2 Proficiency 180, and the freshman page mentions other compelling evidence of English proficiency. None of the pages offers a conditional route for a PTE score below 53.

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