Graduate Record Examination

Most major fields require the GRE. It would be wise, therefore, for applicants to complete this test either in the senior year of undergraduate work or before filing an application for admission. The University of Minnesota Graduate School institution code is 6874.

NOTE TO APPLICANTS FROM THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA, KOREA, TAIWAN, AND HONG KONG:

If you are applying to a graduate program that requires the submission of Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores, please note the GRE General Test will be administered in two parts in the People’s Republic of China, Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. The Analytical Writing section is offered on computer; the Verbal and Quantitative sections are offered at a paper-based administration.

Test takers are required to take both the computer-based and paper-based parts of the GRE General Test in the same testing year, and must take the computer-based Analytical Writing portion first. A choice of two paper-based administrations will be offered during the 2007-08 testing year, spaced out so as to minimize congestion in the computer-based test (CBT) centers. You should schedule an appointment for the CBT Analytical Writing measure through the Prometric Regional Registration Center.
