What TOEFL score do you need for Kentucky State University?

The graduate page asks applicants to use the official TOEFL, IELTS or Duolingo website to send scores directly to the Office of Graduate Studies. Neither page gives a TOEFL institution code or validity period.

For comparison, both pages set IELTS at 6.0.

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.

Applicants who meet KSU's academic requirements but not the language one may be granted conditional admission through the KSU International Bridge Pathway and placed in the ESL Program. After completing the English courses, students move into a degree programme with no TOEFL or IELTS score needed. Scores are also not required for native English speakers, for degrees delivered in English, or for a degree from a US institution or English-speaking country.

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