Most U.S. universities require international applicants to demonstrate English proficiency through standardized tests like TOEFL or IELTS. Exceptions may apply if you are a native English speaker or have completed prior education in English. Minimum score requirements vary by institution, so check your chosen university’s admissions criteria.
Some schools accept alternatives like Duolingo English Test or Pearson PTE. Conditional admission may be possible with lower scores, often requiring additional language courses. Always verify test requirements directly with the university, as policies differ. Proper preparation is essential to meet the academic language demands of U.S. programs.
