How Missouri Southern handles TOEFL scores

The application steps ask you to send TOEFL, IELTS or Duolingo scores. The page does not give a TOEFL institution code or validity period.

For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at 6.0 for undergraduates and 6.5 for graduates.

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 Missouri Southern's level

Applicants who do not meet the minimums can apply to the Intensive English Program, which prepares students for university-level English classes. Freshmen who completed three or more years and graduated from a US high school have the English requirement waived.

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