Test rules and how to send your score
Both pages list PTE Academic in the test table. They give the TOEFL school code 4298 but no Pearson code, and they do not mention PTE Academic Online, PTE Core or a validity period. The graduate page's opening line names only TOEFL and IELTS, though its table includes PTE.
In the same tables, IELTS is 6.0 for undergraduates and 6.5 for graduates, so PTE 48 and 58 are the PTE routes to those levels. Duolingo is 100 at both levels.

If you fall short
Undergraduates can meet the requirement by completing set levels at listed intensive English programmes, such as ESL Language Centers level 112 or INTERLINK Level 5. Academically qualified undergraduates may get conditional admission and submit their completion certificate once they reach the level.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your MSU Billings programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
