How Fitchburg State handles Duolingo scores
English proficiency testing is required for admission unless you have a US university degree, or your first language is English and you are from one of the listed countries.
The graduate FAQ gives a two-year validity for TOEFL and IELTS but states no validity period for Duolingo.
For comparison, the international admissions page sets IELTS at 6.0 for undergraduates and 6.5 for graduate applicants.
