What Duolingo score do you need for the University of San Diego?

Graduate applicants send an official score report from the Duolingo English Test, taken as the traditional online test. TOEFL iBT, IELTS Academic and Duolingo scores must be no more than two years old from the time the online application is submitted.

USD does not accept MyBest TOEFL scores, and applicants must meet the minimum for their programme on one test date. The page does not mention teaching assistantships.

For comparison, the same checklist sets IELTS Academic at a band of 7.0.

The checklist explains when graduate applicants can waive the English test, so read that section before booking a retake. The page names no conditional or pathway route for scores below 120.

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