Study in the USA Without IELTS: Complete Guide for Bangladeshi Students

Studying in the United States opens the door to world-class education and global opportunities. Yet, for many Bangladeshi students, one challenge often stands in the way: meeting the required IELTS score. While IELTS remains the most common pathway for proving English proficiency, not all students achieve the band needed for admission.

This does not mean their journey ends. Several universities in the USA accept students with lower IELTS scores, and some even offer admission without IELTS. This guide explains the IELTS requirements, low-score university options, visa rules, and alternatives. It also highlights how MIE English Academy supports students in Bangladesh to reach their study abroad goals.
