Waivers and the IELTS comparison
The graduate page asks non-native English speakers for official results unless their undergraduate degree was taught entirely in English, with official documentation. The undergraduate page waives testing for applicants who completed 30 semester hours in the US with a C- or better in EN 101 and EN 102. Neither page states a validity period, Duolingo subscores or an assistantship level.
Compared with IELTS: BSU pairs Duolingo 100 with IELTS 6 for undergraduates and Duolingo 110 with IELTS 6.5 on its graduate page.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Bridgewater State programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
