International Undergraduate Educational Requirements

Certificate showing completion of secondary education and/or results of examination taken at completion of studies.
English Proficiency

Wheaton does not offer a special English program for international students. If English is not the student's native language, he or she must demonstrate proficiency in English.

These requirements apply to all international students and to U.S. residents whose native language is not English. English proficiency is required and may be demonstrated by any of the following:

Paper/
Pencil Computer
Based

TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) 550 213

TSE (Test of Spoken English)
50 16

TWE (Test of Written English) 5 18

2. The student is a native speaker of English and is a citizen of the USA, Great Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand or the British West Indies. In this case, SAT or ACT scores are required instead.

3. The student has studied as a full time student in one of the countries mentioned above within the last two years and has taken at least one English class with a grade of B or better, and has a good academic record at the school attended. In this case, SAT or ACT scores are required instead.

4. The applicant has acceptable scores on any of the following: AP English test, APIEL test, ELPT test, IB English test

5. Acceptable scores on the SAT or ACT English portion can waive the TOEFL requirement.

NOTE: We must receive official score reports.

Scores must be no more than two years old. If a student took the exam more than two years ago, it must be taken again. Students who do not meet the minimum English proficiency requirements will not be admitted.

IF YOU ARE TAKING THE TOEFL: The computer-based test is scheduled with the test center. You may arrange to take it at a time and location most convenient to you. The paper-based test with the TWE can also be scheduled.

**Please Note: If you are applying to Wheaton College for the Fall of 2008, you should take your test (s) no later than January 2008. An earlier date is preferable.
