Graduate Record Exam (GRE)
The GRE® General Test measures critical thinking, analytical writing, verbal reasoning, and quantitative reasoning skills that have been acquired over a long period of time and that are not related to any specific field of study. The GRE® Subject Tests gauge undergraduate achievement in eight specific fields of study. Most institutions require just the General Test. You may need to check with the Graduate Admission's Office to determine if your institution or program requires the GRE Subject Test.

The GRE is used for admission to most all programs except for the Master's in Business Administration (MBA) (see GMAT below). The GRE test is administered at Thomson Prometric test sites. To register visit www.prometric.com Another good resource regarding the GRE is www.ets.org/gre
