Duquesne University is a test-optional institution, meaning that students can choose whether or not to submit standardized test scores as part of their application. Additionally, the university allows self-reporting of scores, which means applicants can provide their test scores without requiring official documentation at the time of application. Currently, 20% of applicants choose to submit SAT scores, while 4% submit ACT scores; the combined total exceeds 100% because some students submit both scores.
