14 Departments at Princeton Drop the GRE

Fourteen graduate departments at Princeton University have dropped the Graduate Record Examination as a requirement for admissions to master's and doctoral programs. “The continued excellence of graduate education at Princeton depends crucially on our ability to attract talented students from all backgrounds and identities,” said Sarah-Jane Leslie, dean of the Graduate School.

The departments are: art and archaeology, classics, comparative literature, ecology and evolutionary biology, English, French and Italian, geosciences, molecular biology, music composition, neuroscience, psychology, religion, Slavic languages and literatures, and Spanish and Portuguese.
