Graduate Admissions
UCI Computer Science M.S. and Ph.D. programs have made the GRE scores optional for Fall ’21 applicants. Applicants with current/valid GRE scores are encouraged to submit them. However, all applicants — including those who have not taken the GRE or whose GRE scores have expired — are advised to submit additional material that complements their overall application. Examples include, but are not limited to: capstone projects, design portfolios, links to GitHub profile, research papers submitted and/or published, links to internship projects as well as patents and patent applications.
