Eckerd TOEFL minimums
From the international admissions page, which lists the same figures for first-year and transfer applicants.
| Level or programme | TOEFL iBT minimum | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| First-year and transfer | 79 out of 120, or 4.0 out of 6.0 | Computer-based 213; written 550 |
How Eckerd handles TOEFL scores
The page gives both scales side by side, so either a 0 to 120 score of 79 or a 1 to 6 score of 4.0 meets the minimum. It does not give a TOEFL institution code or a validity period. Transfer applicants can also meet the requirement with English Composition I and II at an English-medium institution.
For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at an overall band of 6.5 or higher.

If your TOEFL score is below Eckerd's level
The FAQ says Eckerd offers conditional admission to students who meet all requirements except English proficiency. Full admission, any scholarship and the I-20 follow once you provide proof of English. Completing ELS Intensive English Level 112 also meets the requirement.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Eckerd programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
