While GRE scores are required for most Michigan Technological University Programs, they are not required for Chemistry.

Applicants whose native language is not English must supply results of an English proficiency examination (TOEFL or IELTS). Applicants that hold citizenship from and/or attended post-secondary school in a country where the primary language is English may e-mail the Graduate School to petition for a waiver.
If the name on your test scores does not match the name on your application, official TOEFL scores will not be able to be matched to your application. If you requested ETS to send your official TOEFL scores and it has been more than 2 weeks, email MyGrad@mtu.edu for assistance.
The Graduate School will verify any IELTS Scores with British Council, making them Official upon receipt and processing
Applicants from certain countries of origin do not need to submit an English proficiency test score: see the list of Exempt Countries.
