English Language Proficiency Policy
The ability to effectively communicate in English — to read, write, and speak the language fluently —is vital for Stevens’ graduate students. Depending on your native language and academic background, you may be required to provide proof of English language proficiency by submitting the results of an English language proficiency exam, such as TOEFL, IELTS, or DuoLingo.
To be considered for admission to Stevens graduate programs, students must score at least 74 on TOEFL iBT, 547 on TOEFL PBT, 6 on IELTS, or 110 on DuoLingo. Please read on to determine the English language proficiency requirements that apply to you, based on your scores.
Requirements Based on TOEFL/IELTS/DuoLingo Scores
For detailed information regarding the ELC courses, please review the English Language Communication Courses website.
