What TOEFL score do you need for Cal State Dominguez Hills?

You can submit a copy of your TOEFL iBT Test Taker Score Report for verification, or ask ETS to send official scores to CSUDH under institution code 4098; official results take about 4 to 16 business days to arrive. Scores are only valid for two years after the test date.

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 same page sets IELTS at 5.5 for undergraduates and 6.5 for graduates.

Undergraduate and graduate applicants who meet every requirement except English may be offered conditional admission through CSUDH's American Language and Culture Program (ALCP). Completing the ALCP earns an English proficiency waiver so you can start your degree in the next available term.

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