St. Mary’s University: English test requirements
Only the graduate figures are given here, taken from the 2025-2026 Graduate University Calendar for the Master of Education. The university's undergraduate admissions pages returned a bot-protection block, so undergraduate scores are not recorded.
Checked on 2 Nov 2026 against the university's own pages. Universities change their requirements, and some courses ask for more. Always confirm on the university's page before you book a test or apply.

Graduate (Master of Education)
The calendar says all applicants, whatever their citizenship, must show English proficiency. Evidence is not needed after at least three years of full-time secondary or post-secondary study in Canada or a listed language-exempt country. Figures come from the 2025-2026 calendar; it gives the TOEFL iBT on the 0-120 scale only.
