If your TOEFL score is below Bridgewater State's level

Neither page offers conditional admission. The undergraduate page says ESL courses are offered on a limited basis once you enrol, and both pages accept other tests, including PTE, Duolingo and CEFR B2.

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