If English is not your first language, or if English is not the primary language spoken in your home, you must submit the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The following are minimum score requirements on the different types of TOEFL exams.
- Computer-based TOEFL exam: Most programs at Boston University require a minimum score of 215; however, applicants to the College of Communication, College of General Studies, School of Management, and School of Education must score 250 or above on the TOEFL.
- Paper-based TOEFL exam: Most programs at Boston University require a minimum score of 550; however, applicants to the College of Communication, College of General Studies, School of Management, and School of Education must score 600 or above on the TOEFL.
