Admissions Tests & Transcripts

Applicants must request that official test scores be sent from ETS to the University of South Carolina. It may take several weeks for your test scores to be processed and mailed to the University. Therefore it is important to take the TOEFL, GRE, GMAT, or other tests early in the application process. Please note that the table of degree offerings gives the tests required for admission to all departments. If possible, self-report your scores or send a photocopy of your score report with your application. If you submitted your application prior to taking the test, please make sure that official scores will be forwarded to the USC Graduate School.
