Standardized Test Scores
While not required, all students who are native English speakers are welcome to submit an ACT or SAT score as part of their admission process. You can also choose to apply as test-optional.
English Proficiency Tests
All international students are required to submit an English proficiency score. If you are a native English speaker or your education up to this point has been in English, this requirement may be waived. If English is not your first language, we recommend taking the TOEFL or IELTS. Your results must be sent to the university directly from the testing service. We do not accept self-reported scores. We accept any of the following exams for Lipscomb’s English Proficiency Exam:
TOEFL: A minimum TOEFL score requirement of 550 on the paper-based test, and 80 on the internet-based test (IBT)
IELTS: A minimum IELTS score of 6.5
Duolingo: We have a minimum Duolingo score of 105
