International Admission Requirements
To enter Linfield as a full, degree-seeking student without enrollment in the English Language and Culture Program (ELCP), students must submit an official copy of one or more of the following exams and minimum scores:
- EIKEN (Grade Pre-1)
- IELTS (6.5 score, with a writing sub-score of 7.0)
- International Baccalaureate (IB) English A (score of 5 or higher)
- MELAB (minimum score of 77 with a writing sub-score of 87)
- SAT Critical Reading (630 minimum)
- TOEFL (550 paper-base score; 80 internet-based score with a writing sub-score of 24)
- TOEIC (750 score)
International students who meet Linfield's academic requirements, but whose language exam scores fall below any of the minimum scores listed above may be conditionally admitted to Linfield and required to concentrate their studies within the ELCP. To determine class placement in ELCP, all international students will take both a written and oral assessment during Linfield Orientation.
In addition, applicants are evaluated in several other areas that commonly indicate academic potential. These include academic performance in secondary schools, writing samples, and letters of recommendation. Because participation in non-academic activities is also important at Linfield, an applicant’s involvement in community and school activities is also considered in the evaluation process.
