How IUP handles TOEFL scores

Both pages give IUP's TOEFL institutional code as 2652. The undergraduate page also accepts TOEFL ITP 500 taken through IUP's American Language Institute.

For comparison, the undergraduate page sets IELTS at 5.5 and the graduate page at 6.

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.

If your TOEFL score is below IUP's level

Undergraduates may apply or be referred for conditional admission through the American Language Institute; completing nine credits in the Bridge program waives the TOEFL requirement. Graduate applicants to listed programmes, including the MBA, can ask for provisional admission and have one year to meet the requirement, through a qualifying score or the Graduate Bridge Program with a 3.0 GPA.

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