The Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute accepts candidates with bachelor's degrees in any field and with a wide variety of experience. We look at the quality of applicants writing and insights as displayed in the personal statement, their undergraduate transcripts, their GRE scores if submitted and their recommendations. We accept clips (published examples of applicants work) submitted with applications, and recommend that applicants submit any clips they have. But clips are rarely a deciding factor in the applicant review process. The GRE is not required for any journalism programs. In some cases it is optional and will be considered if submitted. GSAS recommends that applicants achieve a minimum TOEFL score of 100 on the internet-based test (equivalent to 250 on the computer-based test or 600 on the paper-based test). For the IELTS, a minimum overall band score of at least 7 is recommended.
