What TOEFL score do you need for Indiana University Northwest?

The page gives TOEFL figures on the 0 to 120 scale only and does not list section minimums, a validity period, a MyBest policy or an institution code. Meeting the TOEFL minimum does not remove the placement exams in English and Mathematics that first-time undergraduates and transfer students take on arrival, unless they are otherwise exempt.

For comparison, the same table sets IELTS at 6.0 for undergraduates and 6.5 for graduates.

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.

The page accepts successful completion of an ESL programme at a regionally accredited US institution as an alternative, along with other qualifications such as Cambridge English at B2. It does not describe conditional admission tied to TOEFL.

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