Additional admission requirements and information
English Language Proficiency requirement
English language test options
Success at ASU begins with a strong comprehension of the English language. Because our rigorous courses are taught in English and move at a fast pace, fluency in the language is necessary for understanding concepts and expressing yourself effectively.
Applicants who are not U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents, or a citizen of a country listed on the ASU English Speaking Country list must demonstrate English proficiency by submitting test scores.
Admission to all Fulton Schools degree programs except those in the Polytechnic School and School of Manufacturing and System Networks require one of the following:
- a minimum TOEFL score of 79 on the iBT (internet-based test); or
- a minimum International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score of 6.5; or
- a Pearson Test of English PTE score of 58; or
- a Duolingo English Test score of 105 (currently approved for 2022 and 2023 semesters).
For admission into programs within the Polytechnic School and the School of Manufacturing Systems and Networks, the general University English proficiency requirements must be met. For more information on ways to satisfy English Proficiency please visit https://admission.asu.edu/international/undergrad/english-proficiency.
Conditional admission
ASU may offer conditional undergraduate admission to international applicants who meet the academic (aptitude) requirement but who are not proficient in English.
Through conditional admission, students must first successfully complete the Advanced 2 level of the English language course at ASU’s American English and Culture Program or demonstrate English proficiency as stated above before being allowed to enroll in university courses.
Note: ASU reserves the right to independently test any student’s English proficiency upon arrival, including those who have met the English proficiency requirement, and may require support classes if the demonstrated level of English proficiency is not sufficient for academic success.
Learn more about ASU’s admission requirements for international students at https://admission.asu.edu/international/undergrad-apply.

Students may learn more about these programs by visiting the admission site: admission.asu.edu/mypath2asu.
Change of major
Students interested in changing their major to one of the majors within the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering must meet the admission requirements. Note that the GPA requirement for change of major is calculated using all coursework (ASU + transfer GPA). A useful tool to view the combined ASU+transfer GPA and the courses required to be completed in order to meet the secondary criteria requirements is the FSE Secondary Review Audit in DARS. Please review the Admission Requirements above for a complete list of degree programs that have secondary review criteria.
Students who were admitted as freshmen into the Fulton Schools of Engineering, with the exception of the Polytechnic School and the School of Manufacturing Systems and Networks, and have maintained continuous enrollment in any Fulton Schools major may choose to change to any other major within the Fulton Schools of Engineering provided they are in good academic standing.
Students admitted to the Polytechnic School and the School of Manufacturing Systems and Networks must meet the transfer admission requirements in order to change to a Fulton Engineering major outside of the Polytechnic School and the School of Manufacturing Systems and Networks.
Transfer students who have been admitted to the Fulton Schools of Engineering from a non-ASU institution or are changing majors from another college within ASU must meet the transfer admission requirements in order to change to any other major within the Fulton Schools of Engineering.
Change of major is not guaranteed, and students interested in changing majors can learn more about the process at changingmajors.asu.edu/. For questions regarding admission to a program in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, please contact the Office of Academic and Student Affairs: 480-965-2272.
