GRE scores are only required if applying to the Industrial/Organizational* or Quantitative areas of the program.
- Submit via testing agency using PSU's School Code:
- Portland State Code: 4610
- Psychology Department Code; 2016
- You will be asked to enter your scores into your application and upload your score report at the time you complete your application.
*If you have a 3.5 GPA or above and have received at least an A- in Research Methods and Statistics courses, you are not required to provide GRE documentation when applying to the Industrial/Organizational area; it is optional. However, the General GRE is required for any applicant who has 1) an overall GPA of less than 3.5, or 2) a grade of less than A- in Research Methods courses, or 3) a grade of less than A- in Statistics courses in their undergraduate degree program or a relevant master's program. If one or more of these three situations applies to you, please send official GRE scores to PSU with the rest of your application materials. International students with GPAs not on the 4.0 scale or course grades not on the A-F scale are encouraged to contact the Department of Psychology (gradapps@pdx.edu) for additional guidance on whether they should submit GRE scores. All applicants should also address any significant experience and/or training with writing and methods (i.e., statistics, research design, measurement) in their personal statement.
