Entrance Examinations
Bradley University is test-free for applicants to the freshman class who graduate from a high school accredited in the United States within the year prior to enrollment at Bradley.
Non-U.S. citizens may submit an ACT or SAT score which will only be used to determine English language proficiency, and will not be used for any other admission decisions. If a student wishes to include standardized test scores, the student must request that they be forwarded to the Office of Undergraduate Admission from the testing service or request that their high school send a transcript with the official scores reported.
Admissions for International Applicants
For non-U.S. citizens who will not earn a U.S. high school diploma, scores from one of these standardized tests are required for proof of English language proficiency: TOEFL, IELTS, E3PT, PTE Academic, ACT or SAT.
