information on testing sites.
In addition to the TOEFL or IELTS,
all international students whose first
language is not English are required
to take an English examination before
they register for classes. Students who
do not pass will be required to complete
Intensive English at Pratt. Students
who are otherwise acceptable but have
low English scores on the TOEFL may
be accepted provisionally and may be
required to take only English classes until
they achieve the TOEFL score required
by their department, at which time they
may enroll in their degree courses. These
students will receive an I-20 for English
only. Students who are accepted with a
possibility of needing English language
study indicated on their I-20 and their
acceptance letter will be tested for English
when they arrive at Pratt. Students who
need to take English will take it with their
academic program.
In calculating their expenses, students
should budget the tuition equivalent of
two credits per semester for Intensive
English courses. TOEFL requirements:
Most departments require a TOEFL
score of 550 (paper)/213 (computer)/ 79
(Internet), although some require 600
(paper)/250 (computer)/100 (Internet).
