What TOEFL score do you need for Georgia Southern University?

Results must be submitted directly from the testing service. Graduate TOEFL scores may not be more than two years old. Undergraduates who have completed ENGL 1101 at a US college or university do not need to submit a 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 sets IELTS at 6.0 for both undergraduate and graduate admission.

First-year undergraduates can also show English through SAT Reading and Writing 480 or ACT English or Reading 17. Graduate applicants with a degree from an accredited institution in the US, UK, Canada (except Quebec), Australia or New Zealand, or from a country where English is official or predominantly spoken, are exempt.

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