The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is an examination required by many U.S. universities to evaluate the English proficiency of undergraduate and graduate school applicants whose first language is not English. The TOEFL Program also includes the Test of Written English (TWE) and the Test of Spoken English (TSE).

International students with TOEFL scores below 197 (computer-based test) or 530 (paper-based test) - but higher than 157 (computer) or 480 (paper) - may be admitted to Drury on a conditional basis. Students must also have a score on record of 4 or above on the Test of Written English (TWE).

Students admitted on a conditional basis will focus on English study by taking EAP Courses for at least one semester in order to gain the language level required to succeed in all their studies at Drury University. Students receive credit toward their degree for all EAP courses.

A typical EAP class schedule would include English courses in Grammar, Reading, American English Pronunciation, and Writing and Research.

Additionally, qualified conditional students may also enroll in English courses beyond the EAP and ESL curriculums with the approval of the EAP Director.
