  1. Frustrated by the absence of a website listing PhD programs not requiring GREs, I made one. https://grenotrequired.com/ Right now, I have two pages — humanities/social sciences and STEM — the STEM page has links to existing spreadsheets created by Physicists and by Biomed faculty. Those are the two fields most ahead of this curve. Interesting range of institutions are making moves away from their use — Stanford, Northwestern, WashU, University of New Mexico, UCSF and more... Post names of more programs as comments to the website pages, or here. Thank you, and good luck.
  2. I've moved this onto a google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XXBLNLDz-JsGBHD0YGyHPr7lG-dE5t-nNhJDUH5feoQ/edit?usp=sharing You can apply to some of the best departments in certain fields w/o taking the GRE. I've compiled this list just via casual google search — there have to be a LOT more out there. (Is there really no running list of NO-GRE PhD programs?) [And, apologies for posting here as a faculty member — I just don't know who cares about this more that grad students!]
  3. Building a list. More and more departments are moving away from this horrible, expensive, soul-crushing, pointless exam. This is what I have so far. Please let me know of other programs. Also: should this become a google-doc? A website? (Started this on gradadmissions subreddit.) African American Studies/Africana Studies: Cornell; Northwestern; U Mass Amherst American Studies: Harvard; NYU; University of Michigan (American Culture); University of New Mexico Art History/Visual Studies: University of Arizona; University of New Mexico Chicanx and Latinx Studies: University of New Mexico Comparative Literature, Literatures not in English, Literature: University of Michigan (Asian Languages and Culture); Stanford (Modern Thought & Literature); University of Pittsburgh (Hispanic Languages and Literature) Cultural Studies/Media Studies: MIT (Media Arts and Sciences); University of Washington, Bothell (Cultural Studies MA) Ethnic Studies: UC Berkeley English: Harvard; Oregon State University (MA, req for PhD); Stanford; UC Riverside; U Mass Amherst; University of New Mexico; Washington State University; Wayne State (MA, req. for PhD) Cinema Studies/Film: Ohio University (MA), University of Toronto* History: Emory; Northwestern; University of New Mexico Latin American Studies: NYU (Latin American and Caribbean Studies: optional, req.for joint journalism PhD); U Conn Linguistics: MIT; UCLA; U Mass Amherst; University of Michigan Middle Eastern Studies: CUNY Graduate Center (MA, optional) Musicology: Brandeis ("highly recommended" but not req.), Cornell (?), UCLA (recommended but not req.) Native American, American Indian, Indigenous Studies: University of Arizona Performance Studies: NYU; UCLA (Culture and Performance within World Arts and Culture/Dance) Philosophy: UBC*; University of Michigan; University of Pennsylvania; UW Madison Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies: Emory; Oregon State University (optional); UW Madison (MA) *Canadian programs tend not to require GRE. For now, I'm listing Canadian programs esp. in fields where there aren't a lot of other options. note: Please confirm before applying to these schools. This list of disciplinary categories is provisional, I am revising and updating as I get more info. Some fields listed here traverse humanities and social sciences (e.g. gender studies). Sticking mainly to PhD programs, but throwing in MAs as I come across them, esp. if it looks like they might be funded.
