What TOEFL score do you need for UMKC?

UMKC's TOEFL iBT reporting code is 6872. The page lists programme minimums by school, and only clinical psychology sets TOEFL section minimums (Listening 21, Speaking 24).

For comparison, the same page sets IELTS Academic at 6.0 (5.5 in all bands) for undergraduates and 6.5 (6.0 in all bands) 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.

The page says students may be considered for conditional admission if their scores meet UMKC's undergraduate minimum scores. They may begin their academic programme once they complete the Applied Language Institute's required English coursework. Students with a degree or at least 24 credit hours of non-ESL coursework from an accredited institution in the US, Canada, UK, New Zealand or Australia are exempt.

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