STEM & Interdisciplinary Science

Interestingly, STEM fields are leading the way on this issue. There are more and more fields making this shift — I link to spreadsheets maintained by scholars where I can. Please note, some STEM departments require the subject test, but not the general GRE. I am listing mostly departments that do not require either. Confirm a department’s practice before applying by visiting their website and let me know of spreadsheets I can include here!

Help me build this page — what programs did I miss?
