GPA
- Generally, the Master of Arts programs require a
3.0 or higher (4.0 scale)

GRE
The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is required only for Psy.D. applicants. Submission of the GRE is not required for our Ed.S. and M.A. programs; however, we encourage students to submit their scores to enhance their applications. Please note that you must have your official scores sent to The Chicago School (School Code 1119).
