Many schools are now adopting Duolingo online exams as an alternative to IELTS and TOEFL due to the epidemic since these examinations are not available in many regions.
The Duolingo test is a computer-based English proficiency examination considered at par with Cambridge English Exams, PTE and TOEFL. It is simple to conduct and is affordable for students seeking admission abroad.
The primary advantage of this test is students can take it from anywhere and it has a duration of just an hour. Results are available within the next two days. Due to such convenience, more than 3,000 institutions globally recognize the DET test scores for English proficiency.
1,326 universities in the USA accept Duolingo test scores for enrolling students. Some of these reputed institutions are listed below–
Yale University - minimum score 120
Harvard University - minimum score 125

NYU Stern School of Business - minimum score 120
Massachusetts Institute of Technology - minimum score 120
University of California Berkeley - minimum score 115

Greetings! It’s excellent that you’re exploring options like the Duolingo English Test for your college applications. Many universities now accept Duolingo as a valid proof of English proficiency, which can be a more flexible and immediate alternative to TOEFL or IELTS.
However, the duration of university courses is not influenced by the type of English proficiency test you submit. Typically, the length of a degree program is predetermined by the academic structure of the university. For example, undergraduate programs usually last around three to four years, while postgraduate programs might range from one to two years, based on the discipline and educational system of the country.
Make sure to visit each university's official website or contact their admissions office for detailed information regarding their acceptance of the Duolingo test and the length of their programs. This will ensure that you have the most accurate and up-to-date information for your planning. Best wishes on your journey to studying abroad!
