How Andrews University handles TOEFL scores

The graduate page says English proficiency tests must be taken within two years before admission. Both pages say the paper-based TOEFL is accepted only when administered by Andrews' Center for Intensive English Programs. Neither page lists section minimums or a MyBest policy.

For comparison, both pages set IELTS Academic at 6.5.

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 Andrews University's level

The graduate page mentions a Language Pathway Program, with enquiries to the Center for Intensive English Programs, and both pages mention on-campus ESL classes. Both warn that acceptance into the ESL programme does not guarantee later admission to a degree.

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