Admissions-Related Testing

Most graduate programs at Western do not require admission test scores. Programs that still do may not require them for holders of advanced degrees. Please check whether the program you're applying to requires admission test scores on the program pages.

For programs that do require test scores, GRE, MAT or GMAT scores must be received by the published program application deadline. Applications cannot be reviewed until test scores are received.

Please keep in mind that it takes approximately six to eight weeks for scores to be processed and transmitted to the Graduate School from paper and pencil or special accommodation administration of tests.
