- The Divinity School requires a TOEFL score of at least 580 on the paper-based test or 237 on the computer-based test, and at least 50 on the TSE. However, TOEFL and TSE scores could be waived if a degree program has been completed in the USA and academic references from faculty in the U.S. degree program attest to mastery of the English language.
