Average Test Scores

These are the average test scores for admitted Clemson University graduate students, by program. These scores should serve as a gauge only. They are not cut-off scores, nor do all applicants with these scores or higher necessarily receive an offer of admission because a holistic approach is taken when making admissions decisions.
