What PTE score do you need for the University of South Alabama?

The requirements page accepts unofficial copies of scores for admission but requires official copies before enrolment. The bulletin says all test scores must be official and sent directly from the testing service, that unofficial scores are accepted temporarily, and that undergraduates must provide official score reports no later than their first semester. Neither page mentions PTE Academic Online, PTE Core or a PTE validity period.

On the same pages, IELTS 5.5 sits alongside PTE 44 for undergraduates and IELTS 6.0 alongside PTE 48 for graduates.

Neither page describes a conditional admission or pathway route with a PTE entry score. Undergraduates can also meet the requirement with an A, B or C in a UK Advanced level English examination, and the bulletin says graduate degree holders from accredited US institutions are exempt.

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