What Duolingo score do you need for Clemson University?

Graduate scores must be sent electronically from the testing agency; Clemson does not accept unofficial reports or reports sent by applicants. If you retake and score higher, send the new result through the testing agency, and all official scores on file are visible to the committee. Allow up to two weeks for scores to appear in your portal.

For student-facing assistantships, the graduate page says further proficiency tests or a short English screening may be required, and points to the English Language Programs website.

IELTS comparison: the undergraduate page asks for IELTS 6.5 with at least 6.0 in each sub score, and the graduate page asks for 6.5.

Some graduate programmes offer Conditional Language Admission to students who complete an approved ESL programme, such as ELS Language Centers at Level 112 or the Agape English Language Institute at Level 6. Other ESL programmes may qualify if they meet the accreditation, EnglishUSA membership and CEFR C1 criteria on the page.

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