Entrance Exams

As you begin collecting information about different graduate programs, you will begin reading about required examination scores that must be submitted as part of your application for admission. Below is a chart of the common exams, most of which are discipline-specific.

We strongly encourage you to familiarize yourself with the length of the test, its structure, and the types of questions asked. You can purchase study guides at most major books stores, including the Luther book store here on campus.
