ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY

Fluency in written and spoken English is essential for success in a Salus University academic program as well as to help ensure patient/client safety and/or effective communication with members of a healthcare team. Official results from the TOEFL (or IELTS) examination are required of all non-native English speakers, except those who have earned degrees or diplomas from accredited post-secondary institutions in countries where English is an official language and in which English is the language of instruction (e.g. the United States, Canada, England, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand).

Exceptions will be made for foreign applicants who hold degrees or diplomas from accredited post-secondary institutions in countries where English is the official language and in which English is the language of instruction (e.g. the United States, Canada, England, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand).

The TOEFL (or IELTS) examination must be taken within two years prior to the start date of the entering class to which an applicant seeks admission.
