English Proficiency Requirement
To provide a foundation for academic success, USU requires all undergraduate international students to demonstrate a high level of English language proficiency. The English language proficiency may be demonstrated by meeting one of the following. Students must ask the testing agency to send official exam scores to Utah State University (USU).
- TOEFL internet-based (iBT) exam score of at least 71. The institution school code for USU is 4857*
- IELTS overall band score of at least 6.0 with a minimum of 5.0 on each subscale*

- Completion of at least 24 credits of post-secondary/university course work taught in the U.S. in English, excluding English as a second language courses. Courses must have been taken at an accredited college/university to be considered for direct admission.
*Scores that are more than two years old at the time the application is complete are not accepted.
**The IELI placement exam is offered at the beginning of fall, spring, and summer semesters.
Intensive English Programs
Students who do not demonstrate the required English proficiency scores, but are academically qualified, may be considered for admission to the Intensive English Language Institute (IELI) on the Logan campus or the English as a Second/Other Language (ESOL) program on the Price campus. If admitted, students complete required English language courses before beginning their academic coursework.
Undergraduate students who believe they demonstrate English language proficiency should complete the English Language Proficiency Appeal form.
Applicants from Australia, Canada (except Quebec Province), New Zealand, United Kingdom, and the United States whose first language is English are exempt from this requirement. Utah State University reserves the right to require proof of English language proficiency from any applicant regardless of their citizenship, if deemed necessary by a university official.
