Test rules and how to send your score
The table lists the test simply as PTE. It does not set a score age, describe how to send scores, give a Pearson code, or mention PTE Academic Online or PTE Core, so confirm these with the international admissions office.
In the same table, IELTS is 5.5 for undergraduates and 6.0 for graduate study, and Duolingo is 85 and 100.

If you fall short
You are exempt if you earned (or will earn) a bachelor's degree or higher in an English-speaking country, graduated from a school where English is the language of instruction, are a citizen of a listed country such as Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya or Singapore, or hold a US associate degree. The page does not describe conditional admission.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Western Oregon programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
