Texas Wesleyan undergraduate English requirements
From Texas Wesleyan's international undergraduate admission requirements page.
| Programme | IELTS Academic | Other tests |
|---|---|---|
| Unconditional admission | 6.0 | TOEFL 4.0 (68 before 2026), Duolingo 100, PTE 55 |
| Full admission through English pathway | 5.0 | TOEFL 3.0 (46 before 2026), Duolingo 400 (as listed), PTE 43 |
Other ways to meet the requirement
The page says the university is the sole judge of a student's English proficiency and that other official forms of proof may be accepted.
If you have no proof of English proficiency and are not waived, you can attend the on-campus intensive English programme. Graduating from it satisfies the English requirement at both undergraduate and graduate level.

Graduate applicants and how to check
The pathway Duolingo figure is printed as 400 on the page, which looks like a typing error, so confirm it with admissions. The graduate admission requirements page did not list an IELTS figure when we read it, so check your programme page for its English rules.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admission cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Texas Wesleyan programme page and in your admission letter, so check it there before you book a test.
Minimum vs competitive score
Where Texas Wesleyan University publishes an IELTS score, it is the minimum: the floor an application has to meet to be considered, not a score that guarantees an offer.
Competitive programmes, and courses with far more applicants than places, may expect more than the minimum, and some departments set their own overall or per-skill scores, often for writing or speaking. The course page has the final word, so check it before you book a test.
If you are close to the line, aim for a margin above it: one weak skill can miss the requirement even when the overall band clears it. Not sure where you stand? Take a free IELTS mock test and get a band for each skill.
