What IELTS score do you need for the University of Arkansas at Little Rock?

The English requirements table lists TOEFL 525 paper-based, 71 internet-based for master's and 79 for doctoral programs, or IELTS 6.5, and marks PTE, iTEP, Cambridge, Duolingo, ACT and SAT as not applicable at graduate level. The Graduate School policy also names the Pearson Test of English among accepted tests but gives no score, so check with the Graduate School before using PTE. Some programs require higher scores or other proof, such as the Test of Spoken English. See English requirements and the Graduate School policy.

The policy exempts only students who have studied full time for two or more years at a college or university where English is the language of instruction, located in a country where English is the native language. Applicants are not admitted until the requirement is met.

Undergraduates need TOEFL iBT 4, IELTS 6, PTE Academic 44, iTEP 3.9, C1 Advanced 176, Duolingo 110, ACT 19 in English and Reading, or SAT Reading and Writing 510. Other routes include a US undergraduate degree, English Composition I and II with C or better at a US college, six years at a US school, native English, citizenship of Canada (except Quebec), Ireland, the UK, Australia, New Zealand or the Commonwealth Caribbean, or completing the final level of the UA Little Rock Intensive English Language Program. TOEFL and IELTS scores must be from the past two years; ACT and SAT from the past five.

The US F-1 student visa sets no English test score of its own. What counts is the requirement UA Little Rock sets for admission, which leads to your Form I-20. For the wider picture of studying in the US with each test, see IELTS for the USA and PTE for the USA.

Requirements change between admission cycles. Check the UA Little Rock English requirements page again before you book a test, and check your own program page, which can set a higher bar.
