Which IELTS test to practice
For the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), practice IELTS Academic. SAIC’s pages name only “IELTS”, not a module. Undergraduates whose first language is English, who studied 4+ years at an English-language school, or who earned 12+ semester hours at an English-language university send no test. Graduate applicants are waived if English is their native language or their undergraduate degree is from a US-accredited or English-taught university.
The score to aim for
| Applies to | IELTS overall band |
|---|---|
| Undergraduate first-year and transfer applicants, except BA in Art History | 6.5 |
| BA in Art History, first-year applicants | No IELTS band published; TOEFL iBT 5 or equivalent |
| Graduate MFA programs and post-baccalaureate certificates | 6.5 |
| Graduate MA, MS, MDes and Master of Architecture programs, and the Historic Preservation Certificate | 7.0 |
SAIC sets no band for each skill. Each graduate program’s admissions page lists its own figure.
