Is the TSE (Test of Spoken English) required?
No, you do not need to submit a TSE score for admission. However, students on assistantship are not allowed to teach until they have met an English speaking proficienty requirement. That requirement can be satisfied with a score of 50 or higher on the TSE, a sub-score of 26 or higher on the speaking portion of the iBT TOEFL, or a score of 7 or higher on the T-BEST exam. The T-BEST exam is administered at the University of Arizona. Return to Top If you don’t find the answer to your question, please e-mail lsooter@eller.arizona.edu.
