Test rules and how to send your score
The page asks for official TOEFL, IELTS or PTE scores from a test taken within the last two years. It does not mention PTE Academic Online, PTE Core or a Pearson institution code.
IELTS is 6.5 overall on the same page, so PTE 60 is the PTE route to the same level.

If you fall short
Completion of the ELS Language Center's English Level 112, with a favourable letter of recommendation from an ELS administrator, is accepted in place of a TOEFL, IELTS or PTE score. The page notes an ELS Center at Saint Joseph's University. If you are aiming for a health or science programme with a higher TOEFL bar, ask admissions what PTE score it accepts.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Saint Joseph's programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
