What is the GRE policy?
The School of International and Public Affairs strongly recommends, but does not require, that all applicants to the MPA ESP Program submit GRE scores. Admission decisions are based on the application, science background, familiarity with environmental issues, the personal statement, the résumé/curriculum vitae, transcripts of prior college and/or graduate school work, three letters of recommendation, prior work experience, GPA, and standardized test scores. GRE results are never the sole basis for an admissions decision. They are a useful indicator of academic ability. Many applicants are admitted without having submitted GRE scores.
