What Duolingo score do you need for Loyola University New Orleans?

Undergraduates submit official TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo, SAT or ACT scores. Loyola is test optional, so applicants may use the SAT or ACT to satisfy the English requirement instead.

Graduate applicants submit TOEFL, IELTS or Duolingo scores with their application; the graduate page names no minimum, so check your programme's requirements.

For comparison, the undergraduate page asks IELTS 6.5 for degree-seeking admission and 5.5 to 6.0 for the Pilot Program.

The Pilot Program is a hybrid of intensive English coursework and academic credit classes for students who are academically admissible but score below the full minimum. Loyola says it also looks for a strong academic record, leadership and service.

Below 100, you can be considered for conditional admission to LIEP, which offers intermediate and advanced intensive English courses to prepare students for the Pilot Program or full degree study.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Loyola New Orleans programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
