All classes at William & Mary are conducted in English, and your assignments, papers and tests must be written in acceptable English. Because we do not offer any English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) courses for non-native speakers, you must be able to speak and write fluently.
TOEFL and IELTS
If English is not your native language, and if your schooling during the past five years or more has been in a language other than English, the College urges you to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Academic Test. Any student who has spoken a language other than English in the home should strongly consider submitting TOEFL or IELTS test scores as they give the Admission Committee additional testing to use together with the verbal part of the SAT or the ACT.
Generally, William & Mary is looking for these minimum scores on the TOEFL exam:
100 - Internet TOEFL
250 - Computer TOEFL
600 - Paper TOEFL
Students receiving scores lower than 580 on the pencil/paper test, 93 on the internet-based test or 237 on the computer-based test should consider taking an English as a Second Language course before applying to the College. William & Mary will only accept an overall band score of 7 or above on the IELTS Academic Test.
