How Loyola Maryland handles Duolingo scores

For comparison, the first-year page asks IELTS 6.5 or IELTS Indicator.

If your Duolingo score is below Loyola Maryland's level
There is no conditional route. The FAQ says Loyola does not offer conditional admission and does not provide remedial or language-training English courses, so applicants whose native language is not English must meet the minimum.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Loyola Maryland programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
