Scores are valid for a maximum of two years. A minimum TOEFL score of 90 (internet-based exam scale), or 230 (computer-based exam scale) with a minimum essay score of 5, are required for acceptance to all programs at Regent College with the exception of the ThM. ThM applicants are required to have a minimum TOEFL score of 108 (internet-based exam scale), or 263 (computer-based exam scale) with a minimum essay score of 5. Since tests are given only a limited number of times each year and since some countries have long waiting lists, it is vital to register well in advance for a test date. Once the test is written, it can take up to six weeks for the results to be sent to Regent. Application decisions cannot be made until the TOEFL scores have arrived. Please note that Regent College does not currently offer any English language instruction. 60
