What TOEFL score do you need for College of DuPage?

The page lists exemptions for students from countries where English is the primary language, an ACT composite of 20 or higher, a US high school diploma, or English 1101 or equivalent. Students at US language schools can use TOEFL iBT, IELTS, Duolingo, ACT or the College of DuPage Kaplan placement test. 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 treats IELTS Academic 6.5 or above as college-ready.

With a TOEFL iBT of 40 to 78 you are still admitted, on an ELS-level I-20, and placed into the appropriate English language courses under current placement guidelines.

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