Test rules and how to report your score
All applicants, whatever their citizenship, must show English proficiency unless an exemption applies. The page lists PTE Express alongside PTE Academic but does not mention PTE Academic Online, PTE Core, a validity period or a Pearson code.
In the same table IELTS Academic needs 6.0 for undergraduates and 6.5 for graduates, so PTE 57 and 60 are Marshall's equivalents to those IELTS levels.

If you fall short
Marshall waives test scores for applicants who complete an approved ESL programme, earn ENG 101 transfer credit with a C or better, or complete a year of full-time study (24 undergraduate or 18 graduate credit hours) at an accredited US university.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Marshall programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
