How Tulsa handles TOEFL scores

The undergraduate page gives the ETS institution code as 6883 and accepts the TOEFL Home Edition. The graduate page says exam scores are valid for two years after the test date and must be sent directly by the testing agency.

For comparison, the undergraduate page sets IELTS at 6.0, and the graduate page sets it at 6.5 for the Graduate School and for each listed programme.

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.

If your TOEFL score is below Tulsa's level

The undergraduate page says conditional admission is available for academically qualified students. At graduate level, applicants with a degree from an institution that taught in English may petition the Graduate Dean to waive the test by emailing grad@utulsa.edu.

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