How UE handles Duolingo scores

UE accepts SAT, ACT, TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo, TOEFL Essentials and PTE results, or an essay, with the application. For English proficiency the scores must be official, meaning sent to UE directly from the testing agency. The FAQ does not state a Duolingo validity period or subscores.

For comparison, the same FAQ sets IELTS at 6.5.

If your Duolingo score is below UE's level

The FAQ names Cambridge B2, C1 or C2 as other ways to show English proficiency and gives SAT and ACT minimums used for Nursing, Physician Assistant and the Honors Program. It names no conditional or pathway route for lower Duolingo scores.

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