Stevens' TOEFL rules

The graduate code for TOEFL is 2819, and only official scores sent directly by ETS count. Scores must be dated within two years of when Graduate Admissions reviews your application, and updated scores are not accepted after admission, so your placement is fixed by the scores you apply with.

For comparison, undergraduates need IELTS 6.0 overall, and the graduate policy needs IELTS 6 to be considered and 7 or higher to skip English courses.

If your TOEFL score is below Stevens' level

Graduate students below Level 1 must take English Language Communication courses such as ELC 071, ELC 081 or ELC 091 in their first term, based on their subscores, and can take at most 12 credits that term. Some Level 2 students can instead pass the English Communication Proficiency Exam on arrival. Undergraduates who studied in the US for at least three years can request a waiver.

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