Hey everyone! I’m planning to pursue my Master’s in the USA in the future and was checking out the University of Central Missouri. Do they only accept IELTS for admission, or can I submit other English test scores too? Also, is GRE required for University of Central Missouri? If anyone knows, please share!
Good question! Most US universities accept multiple English proficiency tests like TOEFL, Duolingo, and PTE, but each university has its own policy. It’s best to check UCM’s official website or contact admissions to confirm. As for the GRE, some universities have waived it for certain programs, so it’s worth checking their requirements.
Yes, many universities accept alternatives to IELTS. From what I’ve seen, the University of Central Missouri accepts TOEFL and sometimes even Duolingo. Regarding the GRE, some MS programs require it, while others don’t. It depends on the department, so checking their official page is the safest option.
Adding to this—if you don’t meet the required English test scores, some universities offer conditional admission with an English language program. Also, some universities list GRE as optional, meaning you can submit it to strengthen your application. If UCM is on your list, make sure to check both English and GRE requirements for your specific program!
