A graduate student who was required to provide English proficiency at the time of application and has studied at S&T for fewer than four semesters must satisfy the following minimum scores in order to be considered for a GTA appointment at Missouri S&T. 

• TOEFL iBT – speaking sub-section score: 24
• IELTS (academic exam) – speaking sub-section score: 7.5

*Please note:  TOEFL iBT and IELTS scores must be less than two years old from the day of application for the workshop in order to be valid.
