US Graduate Admission-Requirements for Admission
To apply for U.S. Graduate Admission, you must submit documentation showing
that you meet the following requirements:
- Bachelor's Degree
A bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution in the
United States or proof of equivalent training in a foreign institution.
- 3.0 GPA
A grade point average of at least 3.0 in upper-division (junior- and
senior-level) coursework and in any graduate work already completed.
- Official GRE or GMAT Score
An official score on the Graduate
Record Examinations General Test (GRE) unless otherwise specified
by the graduate program to which you are applying. The McCombs School
of Business requires master's degree applicants to submit a satisfactory
score on the Graduate
Management Admissions Test (GMAT) and doctoral degree applicants
to submit a satisfactory GRE or GMAT score. If you are applying to a
dual degree program that includes the MBA program, you must submit both
GRE and GMAT scores (the GRE for admission consideration by the nonbusiness
departmental committee and the GMAT for admission consideration by the
MBA committee). Similarly, if you are applying for a dual degree program
with the School of Law you must submit a satisfactory score on the Law
School Admission Test (LSAT) as well as a GRE or GMAT score. Only
official reports from the testing agency are acceptable.
The Educational Testing Service (ETS) code for the University of Texas
at Austin is 6882. Test scores sent to this code are made available
to all graduate departments.
- Adequate subject preparation for the proposed major.
Evidence of adequate preparation varies by program, but examples
include letters of reference, auditions, samples of work, and personal
statements.
- A recommendation for acceptance by the Graduate Studies Committee
for the proposed major area.
When there are a larger number of qualified applicants than can adequately
be instructed by the faculty or accommodated in the facilities, the Graduate
Studies Committee for the proposed area may deny admission to students
who have met the prescribed requirements. All admissions must be approved
by the graduate dean.
If you feel that your grade point averages or test scores are not valid
indicators of your ability, you should explain your concerns in a letter
to the graduate adviser of the program to which you are applying.
All complete applications are reviewed by the Graduate Studies Committee
to which they are directed if they are received by the graduate program
deadline. The Vice Provost and Dean of Graduate Studies must approve all
admissions.
ADMISSION WITH CONDITIONS
A Graduate Studies Committee may recommend, with the consent of
the Graduate Dean, that a student be admitted to the Graduate School with
conditions. The Graduate Adviser may require you to maintain a certain
grade point average or to take a certain number of hours of coursework.
If you are conditionally admitted you may also be required to remedy deficiencies
in undergraduate preparation by taking specified additional courses. If
you do not fulfill the conditions within the specified time you may be
barred from subsequent registration in the Graduate School.
NONDEGREE (GRADUATE)
If you wish to take graduate-level coursework without becoming a candidate
for an advanced degree you may apply for admission to a graduate program
as a nondegree graduate student. You must submit an application and transcripts
of all college coursework to the Graduate and International Admissions
Center; Graduate Record Examinations scores are not required. Admission
must be recommended by the Graduate Studies Committee and approved by
the graduate dean. Enrollment as a nondegree graduate student is limited
to one year. Nondegree students are not eligible to be teaching assistants,
assistant instructors, graduate research assistants, academic assistants,
or assistants (graduate).
If you are a nondegree graduate student and decide to seek a graduate
degree you must submit the material described in "How
to Apply" by the program's deadline and you must pay the application
fee. A degree-seeking student may petition to have applied to the master's
degree up to six semester hours of credit in graduate-level courses, earned
while enrolled as a nondegree graduate student.
