English Language Requirements

All instruction at ACU is provided in English. Documentation of English language proficiency for students whose primary language is English is documented by the meeting the educational component of the admission requirement from a school that provided instruction in English.

For students whose primary written and spoken language is not English, an official test result of TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) will have to be submitted. A minimum score of five hundred (500) written or sixty one (61) computer-based is required for admission to undergraduate programs; and, a minimum of five hundred and fifty (550) written or seventy five (75) computer-based will be required for admission to graduate programs.

In addition to TOEFL, ACU also accepts score from IELTS (International English Language Testing System Exam). Students who have the IELTS score will need to have a minimum of 61 in the computer-based test or a Band 5 or higher.

International students with completion of two years of study or at least 30 credit hours in university courses in which English is the language of instruction, however, are exempted from the TOEFL (or IELTS) requirement.
