Step 3: English Proficiency & Requirements
English Proficiency Testing
If your native language is not English or you did not complete a bachelor's degree at an institution whose primary language of instruction was English, you will be required to submit an official English Language Proficiency score from either the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), International English Language Testing System (IELTS), or Duolingo. Submitted scores must not be more than 2 years old. The TOEFL minimum score is 563 (paper-based) or 85 (internet-based) for full admissions, with a minimum score of 17 in each section. The IELTS minimum score is 6.5 for full admissions, with a minimum of 6.0 in each section. The Duolingo minimum score is 105 for full admissions.
Send your official English Language Proficiency scores directly to ATCAS. If you took the Duolingo test, you will ALSO need to request for Duolingo to send your score report directly to Weber State University (Graduate).
Students who do not met the minimum scores on an English Language Proficiency test should either retake the same test or consider taking one of the other two test options in attempt to achieve the minimum scores. Whichever conditional route a student chooses, we highly encourage international students to invest in an English tutor prior to taking a second English Language Proficiency test.
