How Alabama State handles TOEFL scores

The page asks for an official copy of the score to be sent to the admissions address. Students from English-speaking countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada (except Quebec) and Nigeria are exempt, as are students who completed a degree at a regionally accredited US institution. The page does not list section minimums, a validity period or an institution code.

For comparison, the graduate section sets IELTS at 5.5 for regular admission and 4.5 to 5.0 for conditional admission.

TOEFL iBT score reports issued since January 2026 also carry a 1 to 6 band score alongside the 0 to 120 total; see our guide to the new TOEFL score scale. Where a page above gives only a 0 to 120 figure, that is the figure this guide reports.

If your TOEFL score is below Alabama State's level

Graduate applicants in the conditional band can be admitted conditionally rather than regularly. The general requirement can also be met by completing Level 112 at a Language Center.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Alabama State programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
