How Indiana Wesleyan handles Duolingo scores
The page is one of the few to name a Duolingo subscore: you need 110 in production as well as 110 overall. It gives no validity period and no instructions for sending scores.
For comparison, the same international page sets IELTS at 6.5.

If your Duolingo score is below Indiana Wesleyan's level
The Bridge Program lets students take credit-bearing ESL and regular college courses on the Marion campus for one to two semesters, and says students below the standard requirements may be eligible. Its entry and length rules are given in TOEFL and IELTS terms only, so check with IWU how a Duolingo result is treated.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Indiana Wesleyan programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
