Carson-Newman Duolingo rules
Both checklists ask for an official Duolingo, TOEFL or IELTS score report alongside transcripts, a financial support form, a bank letter and an I-20 application. The page gives no Duolingo subscores, validity period, sending instructions or teaching assistant rule; undergraduates can direct questions to the Coordinator of International Admissions and graduates to the Director of Graduate Admissions.
For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at 6.0 for undergraduates and 6.5 for graduate applicants.

If your Duolingo score is below Carson-Newman's level
The page describes no conditional admission or English pathway. The other route it lists at both levels is an EIKEN score of Level 1 with a compulsory maths placement exam.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Carson-Newman programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
