What Duolingo score do you need for Emerson College?

Undergraduates whose country's national or primary language is not English need a test score unless they are completing a fourth consecutive year at an English-language secondary school. Applicants from English-speaking countries complete a waiver in the Admission Portal instead.

At graduate level, applicants submit official TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo or Pearson results. Emerson says scores are considered case by case and may require additional submissions to demonstrate proficiency.

For comparison, the undergraduate page sets IELTS at 7.0, and the graduate policies say successful applicants typically hold IELTS 6.5 to 7.5.

Neither page describes conditional admission or a language pathway tied to a Duolingo score. Undergraduates can meet the requirement with a qualifying SAT or ACT score instead of an English test.

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