Many universities have rigid TOEFL requirements for admission. However, Kansas State University wants to make the admission process for you as easy as possible.
If you meet the academic requirements, Kansas State University may admit you with no proof of English proficiency (no TOEFL). Once you arrive, you will be required to take the English Proficiency Test (EPT). The results of the English Proficiency Test (EPT) will determine if you have to study English, either full-time or part-time, or if you are ready to begin full-time university classes. This is to ensure that you have the necessary English skills to be successful in your career at K-State.
Waiver requirements for the English Proficiency Test (EPT):
1. Transfer students from a U.S. institution must have completed BOTH:
a. 24 credit hours at an accredited US institution
b. with English Composition I and II with grades of C or better
2. All other new undergraduates may submit one of the following:
a. iBT (Internet Based TOEFL) - overall score of 79 or higher
IELTS – overall score of 6.5 or higher
b. ACT English subscore of 23
c. SAT verbal scores of 530
d. Four years in a U.S. high school with grades of C or better in all college preparatory courses
3. Scores must be submitted two working days (Monday through Friday) before the first day of class in order to waive English Proficiency Testing or English classes for that semester. Scores submitted after that date will receive a waiver from English classes for the following semester.
