The following
documents must be submitted to the Graduate Office along with
the Application for Admission:
- Two official
sets of transcripts from all previous colleges
- Three
letters of recommendation (*PDF file)
- GRE
test scores (Institution code: 4073)
Most graduate degree programs at Mines require completion of a standardize test as part of the
admissions process. The most commonly used standardized test is the Graduate Record
Examination (GRE).
We accept GRE scores from tests taken within the past five years.
After five years, ETS will no longer send scores. We will accept
a copy of the original score report if you have it, however the
department may request that you retake the test once your application
has gone to review.
- GMAT
test scores
The division of Economics and Business also accepts
scores from the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) in place
of GRE scores.
Check the academic program
pages to determine if the program you are applying to requires
the GRE or GMAT. Students applying to the Physics (MS or PhD)
program and applying for financial aid must submit general and
Physics subject test scores. If you are not applying for aid within
the Physics department, you are only required to submit general
GRE scores.)
- Statement
of goals
The purpose of the statement of goals is to introduce yourself to the Graduate
Admissions Review Committee. In the Statement, you should address professional
and personal goals, as well as why Colorado School of Mines would be the
best place to achieve those goals. It is typically about one
page in length.
