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

Undergraduates can also use GTEC 1181, GCE or IGCSE English as a Second Language grade A to C, IB English A or B grade 4 to 7, SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing 550, ACT English 21 or the Manchester exam at 400. Three years (six semesters) of high school in the United States waives the requirement, though those applicants are asked for SAT or ACT scores. One year of US university coursework that includes a semester of writing and composition with a C or better also counts.

The page does not list PTE as an option for graduate programmes, and it publishes no waiver for degrees taught in English abroad, so plan on a test unless International Student Services confirm otherwise.

The conditional admission page offers conditional admission to undergraduates who are applying for a home government scholarship and need to improve their English before classes start. They must meet every other requirement and then reach TOEFL iBT 71 or IELTS 6.5 before full admission. Graduate applicants who want conditional admission are told to email International Student Services at intl-adm@up.edu.

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