Test rules and how to report your score
The graduate page describes PTE 55 as a TOEFL alternative assessment recently added for graduate students. None of the three pages mentions PTE Academic Online, PTE Core, a validity period or a Pearson code; the only institution code given is Liberty's TOEFL code, 5385.
On the residential page IELTS needs 6.0 for undergraduates and 6.5 for the School of Aeronautics, and the graduate page asks for IELTS 6.5, so PTE 51 lines up with IELTS 6.0 and PTE 55 with IELTS 6.5 in Liberty's own lists.

If you fall short
The residential page also accepts completion of Level 6 at Language Consultants International (Level 7 for Aeronautics) or Level 109 at ELS (Level 112 for Aeronautics) in place 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.
