MPH Programs Without GRE Requirements

Master of Public Health programs whose official pages say the GRE is not required, listed apart from programs where it is optional or where a waiver is available. Each statement links to the official source.
These are different policies. “Not required”, “optional” and “waiver available” do not mean the same thing, and a program that publishes no GRE statement is not on this page. Policies change by admissions cycle: confirm on the official page before applying.

Of 375 verified MPH programs: 95 state the GRE is not required, 60 optional, 3 waiver available, 0 required, 217 publish no GRE statement we could confirm.

GRE not required (95)

GRE optional (60)
