Master of Public Administration and Doctor of Philosophy

Your entire application (including test scores) must be complete before the committee will review your request for admission. Because of the time involved in scheduling a test and having your results processed and mailed, missing test scores are the single largest cause in delays in processing your application. You will want to make arrangements to complete on of the acceptable tests as soon as possible.

We are providing the following phone numbers and web sites to help you obtain information about testing. Many universities and colleges administer the tests on their campuses. You may also want to contact your campus testing center.
