Application Requirements

Students are expected hold a BS degree in their major or a closely related field of study. Those who do not will be asked to take select undergraduate courses prior to admission.

We do not require the GRE for any of our degree programs. International students may need to submit TOEFL/IELTS results.

We will not request an exception for GPA and/or TOEFL/IELTS scores that do not meet UT minimum requirements.

We do require three academic or professional references (please, no letters from family or friends) and a personal statement. The personal statement for MS students may be brief but should elaborate on research interests for PhD students.

We aim to process completed MS applications in 3–4 weeks. PhD applications are typically processed by April 15 for fall and October 15 for spring.

See degree links on the Graduate Programs page for academic admissions requirements.
