English language proficiency exams

Indiana University requires non-native speakers of English to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) test or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam to demonstrate proficiency in English.

This requirement is waived for applicants who have earned a degree in the United States. A student who has earned a degree outside of the United States is required to submit valid TOEFL or IELTS scores, even if English was the language of instruction at his or her college or university.

A minimum overall TOEFL score of 100 on the internet-based exam or 600 on the paper-based exam is required. For the IELTS exam a minimum score of 7.0 is required.
