What TOEFL score do you need for Rider University?

Send scores to Rider University's TOEFL code, 2758. The requirement covers non-native English speakers and anyone who completed an undergraduate degree in a non-English-speaking country. The page gives no section minimums or validity period.

For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at 6.5.

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.

Students with scores below the university's minimums are considered for conditional admission through Rider's English Language Institute. The requirement may be waived for students who attended international schools; contact global@rider.edu for details.

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