FAQ: I completed a master's or doctoral degree in the United States or at an institution where English is the only language of instruction. Am I required to take the TOEFL or IELTS exam to apply for admission to Portland State University?

Unfortunately, scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam cannot be waived for students based on completion of a master's or doctoral degree. If you completed a bachelor's degree at a college or university where English is not the only language of instruction, you are required to take the TOEFL or IELTS exam regardless of where you completed the master's degree.
