How FAMU handles TOEFL scores

The undergraduate page treats scores as official only when the testing agency sends them directly to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, and says they are not valid after two years.

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 and the graduate FAQ both set Academic IELTS at 6.5.

If your TOEFL score is below FAMU's level

The graduate FAQ says FAMU does not give conditional admission for international students, who must meet the minimum requirements, including a passing TOEFL score, to be admitted. Undergraduates who studied English through an accredited US institution submit that official transcript, and the undergraduate page also lists Duolingo 120.

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