DNP programs — no GRE required.
Many Doctor of Nursing Practice programs have dropped the GRE or made it optional, admitting applicants on clinical experience, GPA, essays, and references instead of test scores. Every program on this page is recorded in our directory as GRE-optional. Programs whose GRE policy we have not confirmed are deliberately left off rather than listed as though they qualify. Admissions requirements change between cycles — verify with the program before you apply.
