What Duolingo score do you need for Claremont Graduate University?

All non-native English speakers must submit a valid score from TOEFL, IELTS, Pearson PTE or the Duolingo English Test. The score must be sent to CGU directly by the testing agency, self-reported scores are not official, and the agency must still consider the score valid.

You need no test if you are a citizen or permanent resident of a country where English is the sole official language of instruction, or hold a degree from a US institution or one taught mainly in English (with documentation). A recent pre-master's or graduate bridge programme at an accredited US university may also count. The page gives no Duolingo subscores or teaching assistant rule.

For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at 7.0 with no sub-score below 6.5 for direct entry and 6.0 for the International Scholars Program.

The International Scholars Program accepts Duolingo 105, TOEFL 4 (75 on the old scale), IELTS 6.0 or PTE 50. CGU points you to the programme page for more detail and the scores needed for Module 2 entry.

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