How Minnesota State Mankato handles TOEFL scores

The graduate page says all test scores must be submitted directly by the testing agency, photocopies are not accepted, and the ETS code is 6677. Applicants from countries where English is the sole official language of instruction typically do not need to submit TOEFL scores. Neither page lists section minimums, a validity period or a MyBest policy.

For comparison, the undergraduate page sets IELTS Academic at 5.5 and the graduate page sets 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.
