La Salle Duolingo minimums by level

How La Salle handles Duolingo scores
All international applicants must meet English proficiency for study at La Salle. Graduate students can ask the Admissions Office about a waiver at admiss@lasalle.edu. The page gives no validity period or Duolingo sending instructions.
For comparison, the same page asks IELTS 6.0 for undergraduates and 6.5 for graduate students.

If your Duolingo score is below La Salle's level
The page does not describe conditional admission or an English pathway. Transfer students with US college credits who do not meet a waiver are asked to contact the Admissions Office.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your La Salle programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
