How Barry University handles TOEFL scores

The graduate page says scores are only valid for two years and that the minimum may be higher for some programmes. Applicants transferring from US institutions must also submit a score unless they qualify for a waiver.

TOEFL iBT score reports from January 2026 also carry a 1 to 6 band score; our guide to the new TOEFL score scale explains how the two scales appear on a report.

For comparison, the undergraduate page sets IELTS at 6.0, and the graduate page at 6.5.

If your TOEFL score is below Barry University's level

Neither page offers conditional admission. Undergraduates can have their school send a medium of instruction letter confirming English was the primary language of instruction. Graduate applicants can be waived with at least 24 college-level credits from an English-medium institution.

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