What Duolingo score do you need for Canisius University?

Canisius is test-optional for admission but requires official English proficiency scores. All exams must have been taken within the last two years; older scores mean a retake. Canisius reviews applicants holistically and calls its figures recommended scores.

Undergraduates who studied academic English for two years at a US or Canadian secondary school, transfers with two terms of English composition at C or better, and native English speakers from listed exempt countries educated entirely in English do not need a test. Letters of mode of instruction are not accepted, and Canisius may still ask for a score.

For comparison, the same page recommends IELTS 6.5 overall, and the Business Analytics page also asks for IELTS 6.5.

Canisius says it does not offer English as a second language support, and lists no conditional admission. Other accepted routes include ELS Level 112, PTE 65, CAEL 70, GTEC 1200 and SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing 560.

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