What Duolingo score do you need for the University of Southern Mississippi?

Official scores come to USM from the testing agency, but graduate applicants may also upload their official score report for validation and are told if it cannot be validated. Graduate assistantships are awarded by the academic department on a competitive basis.

The graduate page adds that Duolingo will only be accepted for graduate admissions, while the undergraduate page lists Duolingo 110 among its accepted tests. Confirm with international admissions if you are applying as an undergraduate.

For comparison, both pages set IELTS Academic at 6.0 overall for undergraduates and graduate study.

The graduate page says applications that do not meet the minimum are automatically denied. Undergraduates can also meet the requirement with IB, Cambridge IGCSE or A-level study, or an accredited US or Canadian curriculum high school abroad, at the grades the page sets.

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