Conditional Acceptance Policy
Bay State College offers a conditional acceptance to international applicants who have met the academic standards for admittance, but who need to improve in the area of English language proficiency.
The international students who are eligible for this acceptance offer are in the following categories:
- Have taken a TOEFL test but not earned a score at or above 80 IBT.
- Have taken a TOEFL test but not earned a score at or above 213 CBT.
- Have taken a IELTS test but not earned a score at or above 6.0.
- Have not completed ELS level 112.
- Have not taken any language tests.
Bay State College does not have an on-site English language program. Thus, an applicant must choose to complete their English language courses at a provider outside of Bay State College. If you do choose this path, you may need to secure an I-20 from the language instruction provider.
Some international applications may be able to take degree courses while they work on their English language course work. Theses cases are considered on an individual basis.
