How Drury handles TOEFL scores

The graduate page says scores must not be expired and must be sent from the testing company. Neither page states section minimums, a code, or a MyBest or Home Edition rule.

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 undergraduate page sets IELTS at 5.5 and the graduate page at 6.5.

If your TOEFL score is below Drury's level

Undergraduates can instead show 30 credit hours at an English-speaking US college, the IB Diploma, ELS Level 112 or completion of all ELI Level 4 courses. The graduate test is waived after two years of full-time college study in a country where English is the official language, or if English is the official language of your country.

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