What Duolingo score do you need for Youngstown State University?

The requirements page says test scores over two years old by the beginning of your term are not acceptable, unless you have been attending school in the US since the test date. Unofficial scores cannot be used for admission. For undergraduates, the page links to a Duolingo page for sending scores to YSU.

The page gives no separate Duolingo level for graduate assistantships, and says graduate students may be tested and placed in English classes before full admission if needed.

Compared with IELTS: undergraduates need IELTS 6.0 (5.0 on each subscale) or Duolingo 95, and the College of Graduate Studies accepts IELTS 6.5 or Duolingo 105 for master's study.

The conditional admission page says an applicant who meets every requirement except English proficiency may be admitted conditionally, on successful completion of ESL study at YSU's English Language Institute. This applies to undergraduate and graduate applicants. Completing Level 5 at the ELI also meets the undergraduate requirement.

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