WHU TOEFL test rules
WHU's TOEFL code is 0682. The bachelor's page says the minimum is based on the official score, not on MyBest scores, accepts the TOEFL iBT Special Home Edition at 95, and lists Institutional TOEFL (ITP) at 597. The master's page says scores are valid for two years and online formats are accepted. WHU does not accept Duolingo or TOEIC for the master's.
For comparison, the Master in Management page asks for IELTS Academic 7.5 and the bachelor's page for IELTS Academic 7.

If your TOEFL score is below WHU's level
For master's programmes you can apply without a score; if you succeed in the admissions process you may receive a conditional offer that stays conditional until WHU receives the official report, with a final deadline of 31 May 2027. A test is not required if your undergraduate or secondary education was entirely in English. The bachelor's page recommends testing early so you have time to retake.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your WHU programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
