Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology asks international undergraduate applicants for a Duolingo English Test score of 110 or above. The same page sets IELTS at 6.5 with at least 6.0 in each area.

How Rose-Hulman handles Duolingo scores

A complete undergraduate application includes TOEFL, IELTS or Duolingo scores. The page gives a single overall Duolingo figure and no Duolingo subscore rule, unlike TOEFL and IELTS, which carry section minimums.

The page states no validity period. The graduate page says international students must submit TOEFL scores or use IELTS, and gives no Duolingo option.

For comparison, the undergraduate page sets IELTS at 6.5 or above with a minimum of 6.0 in each area.

If your Duolingo score is below Rose-Hulman's level

The page does not describe conditional admission. Undergraduates are exempt from the English test with an SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing score of 500 or higher or an ACT English score of 21 or higher.

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