What TOEFL score do you need for the University of Arizona?

The Graduate College's ETS institution code is 4832. Graduate tests must be dated within two years of the enrolment term, and individual MyBest scores must also fall within that two years. The Graduate College notes that for about two years after 21 January 2026, TOEFL reports show the CEFR level, the 1 to 6 section scores and a comparable legacy-scale score.

All international graduate assistant teachers from non-English dominant countries must prove spoken English; studying at an English-medium institution does not qualify you on its own.

For comparison, the undergraduate page sets IELTS at 6.5, and the Graduate College page sets IELTS at 7 with no subject area below 6.

Graduate departments may recommend International Conditional Admission if you meet every requirement except English. You then attend the Center for English as a Second Language (CESL) at your own or your sponsor's expense and must submit an English Language Endorsement within one year, or re-apply. For undergraduates, completing the highest CESL level for programme endorsement also meets the requirement.

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