Counseling Master's Programs with No GRE Requirement

Master's programs in counseling whose official admissions information states that the GRE is not required (or is waived). A program that does not mention the GRE is not listed here — missing information does not mean no GRE.

Rule: Included only when an official page states the GRE is not required or is waived. This page updates from the directory's verified facts.

School or program keyword

Counseling specialty

Campus attendance (coursework)

About classes only. Practicum and internship are in person for every clinical program.

Accreditation

Placement support stated

The program publishes practicum/internship placement assistance or arranges placements.

Degree

Degree level

Exact degree

Program classification

Also include counseling psychology

A related field, listed separately. Doctoral counseling psychology prepares psychologists, not counselors.

Bachelor's entry route

Only routes the university publishes for the program.

School location

State

City (optional)

Where the school is based — not where you must live or complete fieldwork, and not proof that residents of that state may enroll.

Institution type

Schedule & length

Study intensity

Online class schedule

Only where the school states it.

Published length

Conditional minimums (“as few as…”) do not count as the program length.

Cost, admissions & funding

Tuition

Estimated total = published per-credit rate × required credits (or a published program total), using the rate for all students or nonresidents. Fees excluded. Programs without comparable data never match. How it works

GRE policy

Missing GRE information never counts as “not required”.

Funding

Competitive assistantships do not make a program funded.

Published enrollment restrictions

Programs whose school publishes state authorization or residency restrictions for online students.

Deadline

Order

Unknown never counts as a match: a program without verified tuition is not “under $X”, unpublished attendance rules are not “no campus visits”, and an unmatched program is not CACREP-accredited.
