English Language Proficiency

The university suggests either a TOEFL internet-based test score of at least 70, a TOEFL paper-based score of at least 525, a computer-based TOEFL of at least 194, or an IELTS score of at least 6.0. English Language testing scores should be official sent directly to Kentucky State University. This way, we can ensure our international students are prepared to take on a full course-load of English-instructed classes without too many language difficulties.
