General admission requirements to Hunter’s graduate programs are observed including GRE (verbal and quantitative reasoning); TOEFL (for foreign students whose native language is other than English). The GRE will be waived upon applicant’s request, if documentation of professional experience in the field, or graduate-level academic work show adequate preparation to successfully pursue the degree.

In addition, the student must have completed the following courses: general chemistry (including qualitative analysis) (one year), quantitative analysis, organic chemistry (one year), physical chemistry (one semester lecture and laboratory), biology (one year), biochemistry lecture and laboratory (one semester). Deficiencies may be made up during the first three semesters of graduate study.

Students who have successfully completed two or more graduate-level courses with a GPA of 3.0 or better may request a waiver of the GRE score requirement. The request for GRE waiver must be submitted in writing at least one month before the deadline of applications (end of October for Fall admission, end of March for the spring admission).
