How Radford handles TOEFL scores

Scores must be within the last two calendar years. Radford reserves the right to request additional documentation or conduct interviews when needed to make an admission decision. The page gives no institution code or TOEFL section minimums.

For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at 6.0 for undergraduates, with at least 5.5 in Reading, 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 Radford's level

Radford lists three ways to meet the requirement: transferring from a US institution, an accepted test score, or prior attendance at an institution in one of its waiver countries. Many other tests are accepted, including SAT Reading and Writing of 480, Duolingo 100 (undergraduate) or 105 (graduate), PTE 50 and TOEIC 620. The page describes no conditional admission route.

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