A
requirement for admission to an OUS institution is a certificate
of proficiency in English. The
minimum score on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)
varies depending on the OUS institution you will attend.
Eastern
Oregon University
English
language proficiency as demonstrated by achieving a score of 520
on the written Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL),
or a score of 190 on the Computer TOEFL. Eastern Oregon
University currently does not have a conditional admit program.
Oregon Institute of Technology
OIT requires that international students score at least 520 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language. This is equivalent to a 68 on the new Internet-based TOEFL (iBT) or 190 on the computer-based TOEFL.
If you successfully complete a Level 112 course at an ELS Language Center (www.els.com), we can waive the TOEFL requirement for you. ELS has a school located on the campus of Southern Oregon University in Ashland (http://www.els.edu/Centers/Ashland/default.els?ISO=en).
Oregon
State University
International
students must meet the University's requirements for proficiency
in English: for undergraduates, a minimum score of 550
on the TOEFL or 213 on the computer-based test.
If your TOEFL score is between 500-550, you may be offered
conditional admission where you can take intensive English
language classes part-time and regular OSU classes part-time.
Please
note for graduate students: individual academic departments
may require a higher TOEFL score than 550.
Contact your specific department to find out what is their
minimum TOEFL requirement.

additional language-support courses through the UO's Academic
English for International Students courses during their first
year on campus.
