Overall, UB does not currently require minimum cut-off scores for any subsections of the tests listed above. However, graduate admission committees are advised to examine and consider the various English Language Proficiency section scores as they are relevant to the linguistic needs and expectations of their departments.

*Institutional versions of the TOEFL test, unless conducted and issued by UB's English Language Institute, are not accepted for admission purposes.
