Test rules and how to send your score
English proficiency scores are valid for three years from the date of the exam, longer than the two years many US universities allow. The page does not mention PTE Academic Online or PTE Core or give a Pearson code.
On the same page, IELTS is 6 for undergraduates, 6.0 for the 50-level graduate programmes and 6.5 where PTE is 56.

If you fall short
The university has no on-campus English programme but offers conditional admission to students who do not meet the requirement. Completing set levels at partner language centres also counts, for example ELS Level 112 or CLASP Level B2. Graduate students from Ghana and Nigeria who graduated within the last three years can submit a medium of instruction letter.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Western New England programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
