Test rules and how to send your score
The graduate FAQ says TOEFL and IELTS scores are good for up to two years from the exam date, but it does not give a validity rule for PTE. Neither page mentions PTE Academic Online, PTE Core or a Pearson institution code; the only code printed is the TOEFL code 3518.
On the international page, IELTS is 6.0 for undergraduates and 6.5 for graduate study, so PTE 50 sits beside IELTS 6.0 and PTE 58 beside IELTS 6.5.

If you fall short
The testing requirement is waived if you hold a degree from a regionally accredited US college or university, or if English is your first language and you are from one of the countries listed on the international page. Neither page describes conditional admission or an English pathway.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Fitchburg State programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
