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

PTE Academic is not listed. Official SAT or ACT scores can be reviewed for consideration if submitted with the application.

First-year waivers on the page include the IB Diploma or IB English A at higher level, completing ELS 112 or Tampa Language Center Level 6, a grade B or higher in I/GCSE English, and four years of English at a US high school with grades of B or higher (ESL courses do not count). Citizens of a listed group of about 35 countries, including Australia, Canada, Ireland and the United Kingdom, may have the requirement waived.

Transfer applicants have a slightly different list, which adds English Composition 101 and 102 with a grade of C or better at a previous university.

The graduate business FAQ says applicants who have not earned at least a bachelor's degree in the US must send official scores directly from the testing agency. It does not mention PTE, waivers or validity.

The US F-1 student visa sets no English test score of its own. What counts is the requirement the University of Tampa sets for admission, 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 Tampa programme page and in your admission letter, so check it there before you book a test.
