The minimum score for admission is 80 for the Internet-based test. TOEFL scores are valid for up to two years from your test date. Applicants may receive a waiver of the TOEFL if (1) all the requirements for the high school diploma, bachelor’s degree, or an advanced degree in a country where the primary and dominant language is English, and (2) English was the language of instruction of the school where the requirements were completed. If transfer credits were applied to your degree, these courses must have been completed in a country where English is the primary or dominant language for the TOEFL waiver to apply. For more information, visit UCI Grad Division's English Proficiency page.
As an alternative to the TOEFL, you may also take the Academic Modules of the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). For the IELTS, the minimum required score for admission is 7, with a score of no less than 6 on any individual module.
