How Ohio Northern handles TOEFL scores
The table does not name its scale, and the FAQ gives 0 to 120 figures; the page does not give a TOEFL institution code or validity period. AP English, IB English and A Level English coursework are also accepted as evidence of proficiency.
For comparison, the table and FAQ set IELTS at 6.0 for every college, and the exchange section asks for 6.0 with no sub score below 5.5.
