TOEFL All International applications are required to take the TOEFL exam; scores up to two years old may be used. 213 is the minimum TOEFL score on computer administration; 550 is the minimum TOEFL score on paper and pencil administration; and 80 is the minimum for the Internet-based exam (iBT). The TOEFL requirement is waived for international applicants who have successfully completed a degree where the language of instruction is English. For a variety of reasons, the department cannot make offers of admission conditional on students successfully taking the TOEFL exam after a year of language study.  Students seeking language training prior to applying to our programs may want to consider the options offered by UCR Extensions.
