What PTE score do you need for Texas A&M International University?

Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) accepts PTE Academic 47 for international undergraduate admission and 53 for the Graduate School. No per-skill minimum is printed. The PhD in International Business Administration sets higher TOEFL and IELTS levels and does not give a PTE figure, so applicants to that programme should check before choosing PTE.

Test rules and how PTE compares with IELTS

Neither page mentions PTE Academic Online, PTE Core, a validity period or a PTE code. The graduate page asks for official TOEFL or IELTS score reports and lists the PTE minimum beside them.

On the same pages, IELTS is 5.5 for undergraduates and 6.5 for graduate study, and TOEFL is 69 and 79. PTE 47 and 53 sit at those levels.

If you fall short

Undergraduates can also meet the English requirement with ACT English 20 or SAT EBRW 520. Neither page describes a conditional admission or ESL route with a PTE entry point.

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