A good grasp of the English language is essential for academic success at SPU. If you are an international student and a non-native English speaker,* you must demonstrate English proficiency. You can accomplish this in several ways:
- Take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The required minimum score is 79 on the Internet-based test (iBT).
- Take the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam. The minimum score requirement is an overall band score of 6.5.
- Take the Pearson’s Test of English (PTE Academic). 最低分数是56分.
- Take the Duolingo English test. 最低分数是105分.
- Native Japanese speakers may take the EIKEN exam. SPU’s score requirement is pre-level 1 or higher.
The English proficiency test requirement will be waived for the following applicants:
- Students who complete level 6 at the 互联语言中心, which is housed near the SPU campus.
- Post-baccalaureate applicants who earned a bachelor’s degree or higher at a regionally accredited college or university in the U.S., or at a recognized university in Australia, Canada, 英国, Ireland, or New Zealand.
- An actual or anticipated Associate's degree holder 在SPU开始之前. 必须至少获得3分.0 cumulative GPA in college-level courses at a U.S. institution, and have completed both English Composition I & II with a minimum grade of B (3.0)在每个班级.
*SPU considers an international student to be a native English speaker if both their primary and secondary education took place in Australia, 加拿大(魁北克除外), 英国, Ireland, New Zealand, or the U.S. (波多黎各除外).
