How Lewis handles TOEFL scores

Both catalogs say TOEFL scores must be submitted directly from the student's ETS account, using Lewis University code 1404, while IELTS scores can be emailed. Lewis reserves the right to test the English writing of all incoming students and place them in courses.

For comparison, the undergraduate catalog sets IELTS at 6.5 and the graduate catalog at 6.0 with a writing subscore of 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.

If your TOEFL score is below Lewis's level

Neither catalog describes conditional admission. Both accept ELS Level 112 in place of a test, and students who attended school in a country where English is the official spoken language may not need to meet the requirement.

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