Data Analysis, Assessment, & Research in Education MEd Admissions
Admissions
Applications to the Assessment and Policy Studies master's program can be submitted through the Graduate School.
Admissions Requirements
Applications for admittance to the Research, Educational Measurement, & Psychometrics master’s and doctoral programs are due by January 2nd. You will need the following in order to apply:
- Transcripts
- 3 letters of recommendation
- Cover Letter outlining interest in the field and previous experience
- GRE Scores - The GRE is optional for fall 2024 admission. A good GRE score can strengthen an application, but is not required.
- English Proficiency Language Test (if first language is not English) - information about accepted tests and minimum scores required is available on the Graduate School website
Diversity among student backgrounds and experiences is desired (see Diversity and Inclusion Statement). To this end, REMP faculty consider the totality of the applicants as reflected in their application materials. Your cover letter is an opportunity for you to convey to the faculty a more holistic view of your strengths and potential contributions to the program. Similarly, letters of recommendation are reviewed carefully for each applicant. There are no minimum GRE cut scores for admission to REMP. We encourage all students, particularly those from underrepresented and historically marginalized groups, to apply regardless of test scores.
Application Process
The application for admission and specific information on graduate application processes is located on the University of Massachusetts Graduate School website.
