What Duolingo score do you need for Pepperdine University?

The page lists Duolingo as one of several ways to demonstrate proficiency, alongside TOEFL iBT, Cambridge C1 Advanced or C2 Proficiency, IELTS, an ACT Reading score, and qualifying English results from school or college.

It notes that all test scores must be taken within two years of the time of application. It gives no Duolingo subscore rule.

For comparison, the same English proficiency page sets IELTS (or IELTS Indicator) at 6.5 overall.

The page does not describe conditional admission or an English pathway. Other listed routes include an ACT Reading score of 24 or above, a B or better in a transferable English Composition course at an accredited US college, and four years at a high school where English is the medium of instruction.

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