A-State Duolingo minimums by level
From A-State's international student admission page, which gives required minimums for undergraduate (UG) and graduate (GR) applicants.
| Level or programme | Duolingo minimum | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Undergraduate | 110 | IELTS 5.5 in the same table |
| Graduate | 120 | IELTS 6.0 in the same table |
Validity and the IELTS comparison
The admission page says test scores cannot be older than two years. It gives A-State's institutional code for electronic tests as 6011, but no Duolingo-specific sending instruction and no graduate assistantship level.
Compared with IELTS: undergraduates need IELTS 5.5 or Duolingo 110, and graduate applicants IELTS 6.0 or Duolingo 120.

If you fall short
Completing A-State's ESL Program meets the requirement with 80% or above for undergraduates and 90% or above for graduate students. Completion of a CEA-accredited language programme, or of the HOFT Institute ESL Program, is also listed.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your A-State programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
