Required Tests

The Graduate School requires all applicants take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) for Business student applicants before an application packet will be reviewed. An unofficial copy of your scores may be used for your application packet. However, you must request that the Educational Testing Services send an official score report to the Graduate School (Institution Code 4489).

There is a list of department and major codes (PDF file) on the GRE website.

International Students

Applicants whose native language is not English, must submit TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), IELTS (International English Language Testing System) or MELAB (Michigan English Language Assessment Battery) scores to be admitted as a graduate nondegree or graduate degree seeking student. If the TOEFL score is below 580 (paper-based test), 237 (computer-based test) or 92 (internet based test), the IELTS score is below 7.0 or the MELAB score is below 82, applicants may be admitted provisionally into a graduate program or as a graduate nondegree student and be required to complete English as a Second Language course(s) before they can take courses in their major.

Applicants who are graduates of English-speaking universities are not required to take the TOEFL, IELTS or MELAB, however, applicants must submit scores for the graduate administration test required by the program (i.e. GRE/GMAT). In some programs the TOEFL, IELTS or MELAB scores may substitute for GRE scores (check with the department).
