How Liberty handles Duolingo scores
Liberty asks for an English test if English is not your primary language. The online page says Liberty offers general admission to students who reach one of the listed minimum scores.
None of the three pages states a validity period or a Duolingo sending method; the residential graduate page gives a TOEFL institutional code (5385) only.
For comparison, the undergraduate page sets IELTS 6.0 (6.5 for Aeronautics) and the graduate page IELTS 6.5.

If your Duolingo score is below Liberty's level
The residential undergraduate page also accepts completion of Level 6 at Language Consultants International (Level 7 for Aeronautics) or Level 109 at ELS (Level 112 for Aeronautics) instead of a test score.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Liberty programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
