How Belmont handles TOEFL scores
Belmont lists the TOEFL among more than a dozen ways to meet its English requirement, alongside SAT, ACT, GCSE, IB and Cambridge results. Transfer applicants' TOEFL figure is given on the 0 to 120 scale only; TOEFL iBT score reports from January 2026 also carry a 1 to 6 band score, which our guide to the new TOEFL score scale explains.
For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at 6.5 for both first-year and transfer applicants.

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