How Missouri Southern handles Duolingo scores

For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at 6.0 for undergraduates and 6.5 for graduate applicants.

If your Duolingo score is below Missouri Southern's level
If you do not meet these levels, MSSU invites you to apply to its Intensive English Program, which prepares students for university-level English classes. The page does not give a Duolingo entry score for the programme.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Missouri Southern programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
