Can I use TOEFL to get into university instead of taking English courses?
Students who apply to university as Secondary students can use TOEFL or IELTS and/or some other standardized test results to demonstrate English proficiency. Students who apply as transfer students can also satisfy English proficiency with test results, but various faculties at different universities require that students complete specific English courses before they are admitted to that faculty. For example, the Business/Commerce faculties at B.C.’s three largest universities require students to complete the following “English” courses before they are admitted to the faculty: UBC – English 100 or 101 plus one of 108, 110, 121, 131; SFU – two of English 101, 108, 110, 121, 131, Philosophy 101, 102; UVIC – English 100, 101, 108, 110, 121, or 131.
