Maryville University English Language Requirment

The language of instruction at Maryville College is English. If English isn’t an official language in your country and your first language, you may need to complete an English proficiency test.

International applicants must meet English language competence criteria in addition to admission requirements for undergraduate studies due to US immigration law (and because we want you to succeed!). Applicants might be given the option of conditional admission if all admissions requirements—aside from language proficiency—are satisfied. We won't grant full admittance before we have received proof of your language ability.

Proof of proficiency can be provided in a variety of ways:
