What IELTS score do you need for Towson University?

Undergraduates can also use SAT EBRW 540, ACT English 21, IB SL English 5, a C at O, AS or A level English, a C in a college-level composition course from an accredited US institution, or completing Level 5 at TU's English Language Center (ELC). Graduate applicants can complete ELC Level 6 with a B or better, and bachelor's degree holders may be eligible for a waiver.

Country waivers need at least three years of education in a listed country for undergraduates, or a bachelor's degree or higher with a minimum 3.0 GPA from a listed country for graduate applicants. Asterisked countries qualify only for applicants from English-language education systems.

Applicants who do not meet the standards may consider the Academic Pathway to Towson University (APTU). Scores must be sent directly from the testing service, per the international admissions page. Graduate applicants with a US degree qualify without a test, per the graduate apply page.

The US F-1 student visa sets no English test score of its own. What counts is the requirement Towson sets for admission, which leads to your Form I-20. For the wider picture, see IELTS for the USA.

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