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

Tampa is one of the few US universities that names TOEFL Essentials on its undergraduate page, with a minimum of 8.5. Graduate business applicants must have official scores sent to UTampa directly by the testing agency. Neither page gives a TOEFL code or a validity period.

The graduate business figure is given on the 0 to 120 scale only. TOEFL iBT score reports issued since January 2026 also carry a 1 to 6 band score; see our guide to the new TOEFL score scale.

For comparison, Tampa asks for an IELTS overall band of 6.5 at both levels.

Undergraduates can have SAT or ACT scores reviewed instead (530 SAT Reading and Writing or 40 ACT English), and the page lists further ways to waive the test. For graduate business, a student close to the GPA and GMAT minimums may be accepted conditionally, but the FAQ does not describe conditional entry for English.

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