What IELTS score do you need for Wichita State University?

If offered admission, non-native speakers send TOEFL, IELTS Academic, Duolingo or PTE Academic directly from the testing agency. TOEFL may be a single exam or a MyBest superscore. Biological Sciences, Executive MBA, Health Administration and Public Administration sit at the IELTS 7.0 tier; Audiology, Communication and Creative Writing at 7.5. Completing Wichita State's Intensive English program with the required grades can also establish proficiency, though higher-tier programs may still require test scores.

Waivers are considered only for at least one year of full-time academic study at a US college with a GPA of 3.000, or a US degree, within two years of your admission semester. There is no country list or English-medium waiver, so Indian degrees do not qualify. See the Graduate Catalog.

Wichita State considers undergraduate applicants without proof of English, but you must show it before full-time academic study: TOEFL 72, IELTS Academic or Indicator 6.0, Duolingo 105, PTE Academic 49, SAT verbal 410, ACT English 20, the WSU English Proficiency Examination (80) or the top level of its Intensive English Language Center. Scores must come directly from the testing company. See the Undergraduate Catalog.

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