GRE General Test
The GRE General Test is administered through the Educational Testing Service (ETS). It is recommended that applicants complete the GRE test in the senior year of undergraduate work or several months before submitting an application for admission. Please note that ETS will not forward GRE scores that are more than five years old to institutions. Some graduate programs or departments may accept examinee's reports provided by applicants that are more than five years old, but you should check with your program of interest regarding its policy.
The University of Minnesota Duluth campus GRE institutional code is 6873.
Students who submit undergraduate narrative transcripts or transcripts containing pass/no credit (S-N), credit, or other ungraded notations for a substantial number of courses taken during the junior and senior years, or whose transcripts do not show a substantial number of letter grades during these years, must submit the results of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test and, if available, a Subject Test appropriate to the proposed major in the Graduate School.
The GRE General Test is required of all applicants for programs in applied and computational mathematics, computer science, education, english, geological sciences, and integrated biosciences. International applicants who are applying for assistantships from any science program not listed here are also strongly urged to submit GRE general test scores in support of their applications. Arrangements to take these tests can be made through the Educational Testing Service, Box 6000, Princeton, NJ 08541-6000 USA or online at www.ets.org/.
