TOEFL/IELTS

Applicants whose native language is not English must prove sufficient English proficiency by submitting results of either the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or IELTS (International English Language Testing Service) examination. The admission committee will look at these examinations when assessing your SAT or ACT scores to best understand your level of proficiency. We recommend a minimum score of 600/100 (paper/Internet-based) on the TOEFL exam and require a minimum IELTS score of 7 to be considered for admission to Babson. While we typically do not waive this requirement, we will do so for students who have earned a score of 600 or higher on the Critical Reading portion of the SAT. All other students must complete the requirement.

 

Institutional TOEFL results, while helpful, do not satisfy the Babson requirement. The admission office must receive standardized test scores directly from the Educational Testing Service (ETS) and TOEFL to be considered official. Babson’s reporting code is 3075.

 

Score Reports

The testing services send score reports to Babson six weeks after a test date. We cannot make admission decisions without the required test scores. It is important that you plan to take the required tests well in advance of the application deadline. Please note that the registration period for each test is usually six weeks prior to the test date. For more information about test dates, registration dates, and obtaining test score reports, please contact the testing services:
