MSOE TOEFL minimums by level
From the undergraduate international requirements and the international graduate requirements.
| Level or programme | TOEFL iBT minimum | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Undergraduate | 4.5 (tests from 2026); 82 (tests before 2026) | Section minimum 4, or 19 on the old scale; for full admission |
| Graduate | 5 (after 21 Jan 2026); 90 (before 21 Jan 2026) | Section minimum 4.5, or 22 on the old scale |
How MSOE handles TOEFL scores
Both levels set a minimum for every section as well as the total, so a strong overall score with one weak section will not meet the requirement. The undergraduate page gives MSOE's TOEFL code as 1476.
For comparison, the undergraduate page sets IELTS at 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and the graduate page at 7.0 with no band below 6.5.

If your TOEFL score is below MSOE's level
Neither page describes conditional admission. Graduate applicants can instead show English proficiency by earning a degree in the United States or holding citizenship of a country where English is the only official language.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your MSOE programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
