Applicants must satisfy the Graduate School Basic Admission Requirements and the Academic Department Program Specific Admission Criteria:
Graduate School Basic Admission Requirements:
The Graduate School requires that basic admission requirements be met before a student can be accepted. In meeting these requirements, an applicant 1) must have a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited U.S. college or university or its foreign equivalent, with a satisfactory grade-point average; 2) must have an acceptable and current score on the aptitude tests of the Graduate Record Examination or the Graduate Management Admission Test, as specified by the department or program to which application is being made; 3) demonstrate potential for graduate work in the chosen field through previous academic performance; and 4) be approved for admission by the department in which a degree is sought. The admission policies of the Graduate School and the academic departments of The University of Texas at Arlington comply with standards specified by the Texas Education Code, Section 51.842.
Academic Department Program Specific Admission Criteria:
This information can be found via Admission Requirements.
