How to Meet the English Proficiency Requirement

Seattle University maintains the right to require English Proficiency testing when deemed necessary. The most recent demonstration of English Proficiency (i.e. test scores or course work, as per the policies described below) will be counted toward the English Proficiency requirement, regardless of whether previous scores are higher. Following the submission of English Proficiency score reports, requests for testing waivers will not be considered.

English proficiency may be met through any of the tests listed below.

The chart below outlines the English proficiency requirements for general admission as well as admission to the English Language and Cultural Bridge (ELCB) program. Both score requirements are listed below.

Nursing, Diagnostic Ultrasound, Business and Law, and Criminal Justice/Specialization in Law applicants for whom English is not their first language must demonstrate English proficiency at non-ELCB level (e.g. 86 on the TOEFL, 6.5 on the IELTS, etc.). Exceptions below may apply.

Students with TOEFL scores in the ELCB range will take a placement essay test upon arrival at Seattle University. Some students may have their ELCB requirement waived based on the results of the placement essay test.
