How Framingham State handles TOEFL scores

The graduate page asks for the minimum score to be achieved within the six months before application submission, and gives TOEFL school code 3519.

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 6, and the graduate page asks for 6.5.
