English Proficiency Assessment
Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) exams are used to measure your ability
to use and comprehend English as it is used in the college or university setting.
The TOEFL program provides English proficiency testing services for international
students planning to study at educational institutions in the United States, Canada
or other countries where degree programs and courses are taught in English.
If your first language is not English or if you graduated from a non-English speaking
school, you must provide proof of English proficiency. Colorado Tech Online will
accept the following as proof of English proficiency:
- A TOEFL score of 500 for undergraduate programs (or 173 or higher on the computer-based
TOEFL) and a TOEFL score of 550 (or 213 or higher on the computer-based TOEFL) for
graduate programs is required. Or, you can provide a passing score on a comparable
English assessment exam.
- A grade of 'C-' or better in an ESL or college-level English course taken at an
accredited English-speaking postsecondary institution.
- Graduation from an English-speaking postsecondary institution.
- Graduation from an English-speaking secondary institution.
You can take the computer-based TOEFL test in most regions in the world. In instances
where computer testing is not available, a paper-and-pencil version of the test
is administered. To learn more about the TOEFL, studying for the TOEFL, finding
