What TOEFL score do you need for Loyola University New Orleans?

The undergraduate page asks for official scores and says the English requirement may be waived with an SAT Reading and Writing score of 560 or above, or an A in AP or IB English. The international graduate students page asks for TOEFL, IELTS or Duolingo scores but gives no figure, so this guide states none for graduate study.

For comparison, the undergraduate page sets IELTS at 6.5 and above for degree-seeking admission.

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 says Loyola offers conditional admission to academically admissible international students below the minimum. The Pilot Program also requires a competitive academic record and the Affidavit of Support, and LIEP prepares students for the Pilot Program or full admission.

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