Standardized Test Scores

The Graduate School urges applicants to take required tests well in advance of the application deadline. It usually takes at least four weeks after the exam for scores to reach the Graduate School office. GRE/GMAT scores more than five years old will not be accepted.

All scores must be sent directly from the issuing source to the Graduate School to be considered official.

One or more of the following tests may be required as part of the admissions process. Consult the information on your program of interest before applying. 

Graduate Record Examination

Some graduate programs require a Graduate Record Examination (general test) score. Applicants are urged to complete this test in their senior year of undergraduate work or before filing an application for admission.

Information on the GRE can be found on the ETS website.

Marquette University Graduate School's DI Code (Designated Institution) is 1448.

Graduate Management Admission Test

Applications to graduate business programs (MBA, E-MBA, accounting, accounting analytics, economics, finance, and management) should consult the Graduate School of Management for required application materials.

Most business programs require the GMAT or GRE exam, but applicants may be eligible for a waiver based on cumulative GPA.
