GRE, GMAT & TOEFL Testing

Test Requirements
  • Before you apply, you must take the appropriate tests for your program. GMAT scores are required for all applicants to the School of Management. GRE scores are required for virtually all programs in Harpur College of Arts and Sciences (except the MPA program and the MM in Music program) the Decker School of Nursing, and the Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science, and for most programs in the School of Education and Human Development (except the MASS program).

  • In those fields where GRE advanced tests are given, scores for the advanced exam should also be submitted. Year-round computer-based testing (CBT) is now available at test centers worldwide. Appointments are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. To register, call 1-800-GRE-CALL. You may take a CBT once per calendar month. This is true even if you canceled your scores on a previous CBT taken within the same month. Educational Testing Service will report your scores to Binghamton University if you specify our code number R2535 as a recipient.

  • The GMAT (Graduate Management Admissions Test) is available, year-round, at test centers throughout the world. For a complete listing of the locations where the GMAT is offered in your area and for registration procedures, visit the GMAT website. Specify our code number (R 2535) to request that your GMAT scores be reported to Binghamton University.

  • Citizens of foreign countries must show proficiency in English on the college level. Depending on your location, the test may be either computer-based or paper-based. A minimum score of 213 on the computerized version or 550 on the paper version of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required for admission.
