Evansville accepted tests and minimums
From the University of Evansville's international admission FAQ. It gives overall minimums only, with no IELTS band requirements.
| Programme | IELTS | Other tests |
|---|---|---|
| Undergraduate admission | 6.5 | TOEFL 85; TOEFL Essentials 8.5; Duolingo 110; Cambridge B2, C1 or C2 |

| PTE | Not applicable | Listed as accepted, no minimum published |
Sending your scores
UE asks for official results sent directly from the testing agency, not copies uploaded by the applicant. The application asks for test scores or an essay, but the FAQ does not say that the essay replaces proof of English.

What the FAQ does not cover
The FAQ does not describe English waivers, conditional admission, an ESL pathway or graduate-specific English scores. Ask international admissions about these before you decide which test to book.
The US F-1 student visa sets no English test score of its own. What counts is the university's admission requirement, 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 University of Evansville programme page and in your admission letter, so check it there before you book a test.
Minimum vs competitive score
Where the University of Evansville 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.
