What Duolingo score do you need for Western Carolina University?

English requirements must be met when you enter as a degree-seeking student. The page gives no Duolingo validity period or subscore rule.

For an English-medium exemption, an official from your institution must send a letter to WCU Undergraduate Admissions or to the Graduate School at gradadmissions@wcu.edu.

For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at 6.0 with no band below 5.0 for undergraduates, and 6.5 with no band below 6.0 for graduate study.

Exemptions cover students from listed English-speaking countries, IB diploma holders, students educated at an English-medium institution, and those with 24 or more credit hours at a US college. The page does not describe a conditional admission route.

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