Undergraduate Admission
If you have a good academic record from high school, but your English is not yet at an 80 ibt, 213 cbt, or 550 pbt score on the TOEFL test, with minimum part scores, you can be admitted to an undergraduate program at K-State and begin your studies in the English Language Program.
