GRE General Test is required. GRE Subject Test is required. Department accepts Chemistry, Biochemistry, or any STEM field Subject GRE. Applicants that have yet to take the Subject GRE exam can still submit an application. Our admissions committee has the ability to review the application, but will consider it as incomplete. In order to get past the Subject GRE section, applicants can enter a projected date and enter zeros in the Subject GRE score fields.
