How Morgan State handles TOEFL scores

The undergraduate page lists TOEFL institution code 5416 and requires English proficiency results from all applicants whose native language is not English. The graduate page lists countries that do not need TOEFL, IELTS or Duolingo and says no other English exams are accepted.

For comparison, the undergraduate page sets the IELTS overall band at 5.0.

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 Morgan State's level

At graduate level, an official transcript showing a bachelor's or master's degree from a US college or university is accepted as evidence of English proficiency. Neither page describes conditional admission.

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