Undergraduate Students

Further, students who score below 100 on the Duolingo English Test (or other language proficiency tests) may be granted a 'Conditional Acceptance' from the University of New Haven. This means that once you meet the English language requirements, you can enroll and begin your classes.

Students can also enroll in the University of New Haven Academic English Preparatory Program to study English as a second language at the school before starting academic classes. This can fulfill the English Language Requirement.
