How RWU handles TOEFL scores

Undergraduate and transfer applicants send TOEFL scores to code 3729. Transfer applicants with no scores can still be considered for conditional admission, though RWU suggests sending scores for the best placement. Graduate scores must be official and released directly to RWU by the testing company. The graduate figure is given on the 0 to 120 scale only.

For comparison, both pages set 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.

If your TOEFL score is below RWU's level

Undergraduates below the standard can be considered for conditional admission if they show English proficiency before the I-20 is issued; RWU's ESL partners include the Johnson & Wales University English Language & Culture Academy, ASC English and Boston International Academy. Undergraduate waivers include SAT EBRW of 550, ACT English of 20 or IB English of 6. For graduate study, ELS Level 112 counts only for the Master of Architecture.

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