GRE, GMAT, and Test Scores

** Illinois Tech is waiving the GRE for the spring and fall 2022 semesters. **
** This waiver does not apply to the Master of Science in Management Science. **

Test Score Accommodations During the Novel Coronavirus Outbreak

Due to the impacts of the coronavirus on testing centers in China and elsewhere, we are making the following accommodations available to all students for the spring and fall 2022 admission cycle for all master’s programs:

• IELTS and TOEFL Alternate Option: If you are unable to take the IELTS or TOEFL test due to exam cancellations, you may submit Duolingo English Test results instead.

• GRE and GMAT Waiver: We understand that many GRE and GMAT testing facilities are closed due to the coronavirus. As a result, Illinois Tech has changed our test requirements for the spring and fall 2022 semesters. We are no longer requiring students to submit GRE or GMAT scores for all master’s programs except for the Master of Science in Management Science.

All degree-seeking applicants—except those eligible for the GRE waiver—are required to submit . Most Illinois Tech Stuart School of Business programs accept either the . GRE and GMAT scores are considered valid for five years from the testing date. If your scores are more than five years old at the time your application is reviewed, new scores will be required.

The GRE requirement is waived for applicants to professional master's degree programs (architecture programs are not included) who hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in the United States with a cumulative undergraduate grade-point average of 3.0/4.0 or higher. Applicants applying to Stuart School of Business master's degree programs must have five or more years of work experience to qualify for a GRE/GMAT waiver; the faculty will make the decision on the GRE waiver upon reviewing an applicant's résumé and transcripts. If you believe you meet this qualification, you must contact the Office of Graduate Admission to request this waiver. Once you have uploaded your official undergraduate transcripts (and résumé for business programs) for verification, we will review your request. After you submit an application, you will see the test score requirement in your Application Tracker as "waived" if you received the waiver.

The chart below shows the minimum scores required for admission consideration. GRE requirements are subject to change, so please reference the graduate bulletin or your academic department's website for the most up-to-date information. If your scores do not meet these minimum requirements, we encourage you to consider retaking the exam.
