What TOEFL score do you need for Mercer University?

The undergraduate page says international students must submit language test scores even when applying test optional, and test-optional international applicants must also complete an interview with their admissions counsellor. The business page accepts unofficial score reports for the first review but needs an official report, sent to institution code 5025, on admission.

For comparison, the undergraduate page and the engineering graduate page both set IELTS at 6.5.

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 engineering page accepts a Certificate of Proficiency from Mercer's English Language Institute and lists conditional and provisional admission among its admission categories. The business page waives the test for applicants who completed English Composition I and II at another US institution with a C or higher.

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