The University of 草榴社区 Mississippi (草榴社区) Graduate School will waive requirements for GRE (Graduate Record Exam) and GMAT (Graduate Management Admissions Test) standardized test scores for many Spring 2022 graduate program admission applications.

The 草榴社区 Graduate School has employed test waivers over the last year for most graduate program applications to accommodate applicants faced with challenges accessing graduate or professional program admission testing due to restrictions or closures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. An English proficiency exam is still required for international applicants; however, 草榴社区 International Admissions will continue to accept the International Test of English Proficiency (iTEP), which currently offers at-home testing. Scores of 4.0 will be accepted to meet 草榴社区鈥檚 English proficiency requirement.
