Each graduate program determines the graduate admission tests and test scores required for the program. All applicants for admission to a program that requires or recommends a graduate admission test (GMAT, GRE, LSAT, etc.) should submit satisfactory official score reports directly from the testing agency (e.g. ETS) to the Office of Graduate Studies. The graduate admission test must have been taken within the past five years leading to the application due date.

If your native language is not English, you must submit official results of one of the following in order to receive consideration for admission:

• Visit ETS for information on how to request ETS to send TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) test score reports.
• Visit IELTS for information on how to request IELTS to send IELTS (International English Language Testing System) test score reports.
• For both TOEFL and IELTS, the institutional code to use to request your Test Scores to be sent to GradCAS as the application service currently for Kentucky State University, the code for all TOEFL scores to GradCAS is B886, the Kentucky State University direct code is 1368.
