What IELTS score do you need for the University of Dayton?

UD also accepts iTEP 4.5, an ELS Level 112 certificate or Cambridge C1 Advanced 160, sent directly from the testing centre with code 1834. Some graduate programs require a higher score for full admission. Conditionally admitted graduate students complete the Intensive English Program through its Graduate Academic level, after which they are fully admitted with no further test scores needed. See the Intensive English Program.

You are exempt with a bachelor's or higher from a regionally accredited US institution, or from an institution teaching in English in Australia, Belize, English-speaking Caribbean countries, English-speaking provinces of Canada, Ghana, Ireland, New Zealand, Singapore, Nigeria or the UK. India is not on the list. See graduate English proficiency.

Undergraduates submit TOEFL 70, IELTS 6.0, iTEP 4.0, PTE Academic 50 or Duolingo 100, or an ACT English score of 21. Applicants below these scores may be considered for conditional admission and must complete the Intensive English Program, or reach a minimum score, before full admission to an academic program. See the Undergraduate Catalog.

The US F-1 student visa sets no English test score of its own. What counts is the requirement the University of Dayton 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 University of Dayton graduate English proficiency page again before you book a test, and check your own program page, which can set a higher bar.
