Unless otherwise noted, the basic requirement for admission to a graduate program includes completion of an undergraduate degree program substantially equivalent to that offered by Iowa State University in the same discipline. Although most departments recommend GRE scores, they are not required for admission by all programs at Iowa State. If they are required, it will be noted in a program's entry. A complete listing of the graduate programs at Iowa State, along with brief summaries of each program's entrance requirements, is available here . The application fee is not required if you attended Iowa State as an undergraduate or if you are applying for nondegree admission.
Some programs also require that a pre-application be submitted.
In all cases, in order to be considered for enrollment, your bachelor's degree must have been received from a college or university accredited by a recognized regional accrediting association. If you attended a non-U.S. college or university, your degree must have been received from a recognized institution where the requirements for the bachelor's degree are similar to those at Iowa State. However, since most programs require or recommend submission of GRE scores, please consult your individual program to learn of its specific requirements. If you have not yet taken the GRE, contact the Educational Testing Service or the Sylvan Learning Center . Many programs require a higher score, however, so you'll need to check directly with the program or major to which you desire admission.
