If your TOEFL score is below the University of Bridgeport's level

Applicants who cannot show proof of English may be admitted conditionally to UB's English Language Institute (ELI) and start their programme after completing it. The undergraduate page says conditional applicants must still sit some form of English exam, and those without sufficient scores before registration attend the ELI until proficient. The graduate page says conditional admission is not offered for the Education MS or EdD.

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