  2. Complete official transcripts
  3. An application for Graduate Studies
  4. Two letters of recommendation, preferably from persons who have directly observed the applicant’s academic and/or career performance, and

Applications are reviewed on an individual basis and are based on multiple criteria including letters of reference, work experience, GRE scores and grade point average (GPA) in the last sixty hours of undergraduate work. Successful applicants usually have GPA of 3.0 or better and GRE scores at the fiftieth percentile or better. Applicants who believe their grade point average or their scores are not valid indicators of their ability should explain their concerns in a letter to the Graduate Programs Coordinator. The department may elect to require additional assessments of individual applicants. Courses at UT Tyler campus are offered evenings and online. Students may also enroll in courses offered during the summer and at off-campus sites.
