How Wichita State handles TOEFL scores
The graduate catalog accepts MyBest superscores at the general level and says scores must be sent directly from ETS and be less than two years old. It notes that TOEFL introduced a new scoring structure in January 2026 and that either format is accepted if the test is within two years and verifiable through ETS. Neither page gives an institution code.
For comparison, the graduate catalog sets IELTS at 6.5 for most programmes, and the undergraduate catalog sets IELTS at 6.0.

If your TOEFL score is below Wichita State's level
The undergraduate catalog says Wichita State considers all undergraduate applicants for admission without proof of English, and lets you meet the requirement later, including by completing the highest level of the Intensive English Language Center. Graduate applicants can study at the Intensive English Language Center first and may meet the requirement through it.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Wichita State programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
