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

The undergraduate requirement includes section minimums of 16 in Reading and Writing, and Portland's TOEFL code is 4847. The page notes a TOEFL at-home test option. It does not state a MyBest policy or a validity period.

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, undergraduates need IELTS 6.5 with 6.0 in Reading and Writing, and graduate programmes ask for IELTS 7.0 or 7.5.

Portland offers conditional admission to undergraduates applying for a home government scholarship who need to improve their English first. They must meet every other requirement and reach TOEFL iBT 71 (or IELTS 6.5) before they are fully admitted and begin classes. Graduate applicants should email International Student Services about conditional eligibility.

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