GRE Requirements GRE Requirement: Optional/Not Required. Submitting GRE scores is not required. However, if official scores are submitted, they may be considered during the review process. More Information: The GRE has been waived for all of our MA programs except for these 3: China, Japan, and Korea Studies (for these programs, it’s strongly recommended, as it is for the PhD program). The admission committees of these 4 graduate programs like to have the GRE as an extra data point for their admission decisions but it's not a deciding factor as they have other more relevant documents to review. In addition, applicants could request it to be waived under special circumstances (financial constraints, applicant lives far away from nearest test location, medical issues, etc.) Additional Instructions REVIEW APPLICATION GUIDELINES Non-Native English Speaker Information Graduate School requirement: English language proficiency (ELP) is required for graduate study at the University of Washington.
