How Marywood handles TOEFL scores
Official scores must be sent directly to Marywood University by the testing agency, and the undergraduate section asks for scores taken within the last two years. The page does not give a TOEFL institution code.
For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at 5.5 for undergraduates, 6.0 for graduate and doctoral applicants and 6.5 for M.S. Biotechnology.
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 Marywood's level
Undergraduate, graduate and doctoral applicants may qualify for an English proficiency exam waiver through SAT EBRW 500, ACT English plus Reading 37 or GRE Verbal 150; completion of a Marywood-recognised bridge or ESL programme with a certificate and verified exit exam score; or more than two years of secondary or university study in the US. Applicants from eligible countries can submit a medium of instruction letter.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Marywood programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
