How Indiana Tech handles Duolingo scores

All three pages list Duolingo as one of four approved tests and ask for official scores. Applications are not reviewed until all documents, including the English result, have been received. None of the pages states a validity period or a subscore rule.

For comparison, the same English proficiency page sets IELTS at 6.0.

If your Duolingo score is below Indiana Tech's level

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