What TOEFL score do you need for Portland State University?

Undergraduate scores must be achieved within the last two years and sent to institutional code 4610. Graduate scores must be less than two years old at matriculation, though older scores are accepted if they exceeded the minimum and you have lived continuously in the US since the exam. The Graduate School accepts the TOEFL iBT Special Home Edition.

For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at 6.0 with 6.0 in Reading and Writing for undergraduates and 6.5 with 6.5 in those bands for graduates.

Undergraduates can meet the requirement by completing Level 5 at PSU's ESL partner, Pacific International Academy at the University of Portland, or Level 8 of the Portland Community College ESOL programme with set grades. Applicants can also request an ESL review by email with other evidence of English ability.

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