What Duolingo score do you need for Johnson & Wales University?

Results must be submitted on an official test report that is no more than two years old, and JWU verifies copies of test reports through a verification service. The catalogue gives a TOEFL institution code (3465) only.

JWU says students may be exempted from individual ESL classes based on their section scores, and it reserves the right to require ESL classes regardless of total score.

For comparison, the same table asks IELTS 6.0 (subscores 5.5) for undergraduates and 6.5 (subscores 6.0) for graduate students.

The catalogue links English proficiency to ESL placement rather than describing a separate conditional admission route. It notes that ESL courses are offered at the Providence campus only. ELS Level 112 and some Kaplan and EF certificates are also listed as proof of proficiency.

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