How Morehead State handles TOEFL scores

The English proficiency page gives Morehead State's TOEFL code as 1487. The graduate page asks for original, official proof of English proficiency.

For comparison, the English proficiency page sets IELTS at 5.0 for undergraduates and the graduate page sets 5.5.

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.

If your TOEFL score is below Morehead State's level

Undergraduates from the English-speaking countries listed on the page do not need to show a test score. International transfer students are exempt from TOEFL or IELTS with 24 or more college credit hours from an accredited institution in the United States, Australia, Canada (except Quebec), Ireland, New Zealand or the United Kingdom. Graduate applicants who graduated from a US high school (with ACT or SAT scores) or completed at least 24 hours at a US college or university also meet the requirement.

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