What TOEFL score do you need for Charleston Southern University?

The page gives Charleston Southern's code as 5079 and says scores must be sent directly from the testing agency. It does not state a validity period or any section minimums. 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.

For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at 6.0 at both levels.

The page does not describe conditional admission. Undergraduates can also meet the requirement with SAT Evidence Based Reading and Writing of 530 or two years of US study with C or better in core subjects.

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