An important exam that non-native speakers of English will need to take for admission consideration to the University of Michigan assesses English language proficiency. We are seeking a high level of proficiency in English due to the nature of the environment into which you will be entering—although the campus community represents a wide range of cultural and geographic backgrounds, American English is the dominant language in the classroom. As a result, we do not offer intensive English make-up course work for conditional admission. Once enrolled, you can undertake a course of language study to improve your skills. Freshman applicants must also submit the SAT or ACT with writing on top of their English proficiency exam results. SAT and ACT are not required for transfer students but may be submitted if previously taken.
English Proficiency
If English is your second language, you must take the MELAB, TOEFL, IELTS, ECPE, CPE or CAE examinations and earn a passing score in one of the following acceptable ranges:
General English Proficiency Score Ranges
MELAB: 85 range with section scores 80+
TOEFL (PBT): 600 range with section scores 57+
TOEFL (iBT): 100 range with section scores 23+ in listening & reading and 21+ in speaking & writing
IELTS: 7.0 range with section scores 6.5+
ECPE: Certificate with all sections at least a C
CAE or CPE: 185 with no less than 180+ in all sections (CEFR C1)
PTE Academic: 68 with all sections equally strong
Exceptions: You can be exempted from taking any of these exams if your SAT critical reading score is 600 or above, or both your ACT reading and English scores are 27 or higher, and if you have recently completed at least 4 years of rigorous academic study in any of the following countries: Anguila, Antigua, Barbuda, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Canada (except Quebec), Cayman Islands, Dominica, England, Federated States of Micronesia, Grenada, Guyana, Ireland, Jamaica, Monserrat, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Seychelles, Shetland Islands, St. Kitts-Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos Islands, United States (other than Puerto Rico), US Virgin Islands, Wales.
English Language Institute (ELI)
The English Language Institute provides advanced English language instruction to non-native speakers of English who enroll at the University who already meet general MELAB, TOEFL or IELTS requirements and who already have a high level of English proficiency. It offers students courses in English for Academic Purposes to continue to polish English skills at an advanced collegiate level in the summer prior to enrollment.
