How LSU Shreveport handles TOEFL scores
Neither page states a TOEFL institution code, section minimums or a validity period.
For comparison, the undergraduate page sets IELTS at 6.0 overall with 5.5 in each component, and the graduate page sets 6.5 with 6.0 in each component.
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.
