How Keene State handles Duolingo scores
The requirement applies to students whose primary language of instruction is not English. The page gives no Duolingo validity period or subscore rule. It asks for IELTS scores to be sent directly from the testing agency but gives no sending rule for Duolingo.
For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at 6.5 and TOEFL iBT at 80 for undergraduates, per Keene State.
