Language Proficiency for Undergraduate Admission

 

Many universities have rigid TOEFL requirements for admission. However, Kansas State University wants to make the admission process for you as easy as possible.

After review of your academic record, Kansas State University can 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.

If you do not want to take the English Proficiency Test (EPT) on arrival, there are several ways in which you can get a waiver from the English Proficiency Test (EPT):

  • submitting a TOEFL score of 550 where each part score is 55 or higher, a 213 Computer based TOEFL (CBT) where each part score is 21 or higher with a writing score of 5.0 or a score of 80 Internet based TOEFL (iBT) where each part score is 21 or higher.
  • having a IELTS score of 6.5 overall with each part score being 6.0 or higher.
  • having completed Composition I and II with grades of C or higher at an accredited institution in the United States.
  • having an English sub-score of 23 or higher on the ACT
  • having a verbal score of 530 or higher on the SAT.

Any evidence of English proficiency must be submitted to the Admissions Office prior to the first day of the English Proficiency Test (EPT) at the beginning of the semester. Evidence submitted after that time will not be considered.
