What Duolingo score do you need for California Lutheran University?

A qualifying exam result must be completed within one year of the term you want to start. The page gives no Duolingo subscores, sending instructions or teaching assistant rule.

Other direct routes include a US, Canadian, British or IB curriculum high school, two years of English at a US high school with C or better, English-medium study in a country where English is official, Oxford ELLT 7, OIDI Level 7 or ELS Level 112. Graduates can use a bachelor's degree from the US or an English-medium country.

For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at 6.5 for first-year, transfer and graduate applicants alike.

Students who meet all other academic requirements may be considered for English Language Conditional Admission, completing an approved intensive English programme first. To ask for it, apply, submit your documents and email international admission saying you want to be considered without an English exam. The Oxford International Digital Institute EAP online course is one approved route.

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