• What is the minimum GRE or GMAT score that is required for admission?

  

  The OGSPS does not have a minimum requirement for the GRE or GMAT. The selection process considers all components of the application package, including application information, letters of recommendation, academic statement of purpose, personal history statement, academic record (i.e., transcripts, diploma), test scores, resume/curriculum vitae (CV), and other information a graduate program requires.

• What is the minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) required for admission?

  

  Each academic department sets its own admission requirements; therefore, some departments have a minimum GPA requirement and others do not. The Office of the Vice Provost for Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Scholars (OGSPS) requires all students to possess a minimum of a 3.0/4.0 GPA (A=4.0) in order to be admitted without conditions. To determine if your program of interest has a GPA requirement above the OGSPS's minimum requirement, visit the Graduate Program Requirements Web page.
