How Findlay handles TOEFL scores

Findlay's figures are on the 0 to 120 scale, and only Rhetoric and Writing sets TOEFL section minimums. Programmes that apply through a centralised application service, such as the OTD, DPT, MOT, MPA and PharmD, have their own pages.

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, Findlay asks undergraduates for IELTS 6.0 and graduates for at least 6.5.

If your TOEFL score is below Findlay's level

Applicants below the minimum can be conditionally accepted and enrol in Findlay's CEA-accredited Intensive English Language Program (IELP), starting degree classes once their scores improve. Completing Level 8 of The Language Company also meets the undergraduate requirement. Graduate applicants who can show C1-level English may be exempt.

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