How UBalt handles TOEFL scores

English proficiency must be shown at the time of application. UBalt's TOEFL reporting code is 5810. The university reserves the right to require extra English instruction of any student.

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.

For comparison, UBalt asks for IELTS 6.0 overall, or 6.5 for the School of Law's LL.M. programme.

If your TOEFL score is below UBalt's level

The University of Baltimore does not offer ESL courses, so there is no on-campus pathway. The test can be waived for first-time undergraduates with three or more years at a US high school, and for transfers with 56 or more transferable credits including a C or higher in English composition. Degree holders from listed countries can also be waived.

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