Graduate Admissions

We require an application from ApplyTexas (Spring 2025) or GradCAS (Summer (2025 and later), your GRE scores, your English proficiency scores (for international students only), your resume, a copy of your official transcript, and a copy of your undergraduate degree to be considered for any of our graduate programs. Our PhD program also requires 3 Letters of Recommendation and a Statement of Purpose. Here are the typical scores of successful applicants into our programs:

Official transcripts are sent directly to gradadmissions@unt.edu. English proficiency test results and GRE scores must be sent directly to UNT from the testing service.

UNT’s school code is 6481

Other documents are submitted through GradCAS portal.

You can check your student portal at https://my.unt.edu to see which documents are still needed for your application. Contact the Toulouse Graduate School regarding the status of test scores and transcripts.

On average 7-10 business days after submitting your application, you’ll receive an email with instructions on how to set up your student portal on my.unt.edu. This is very important, as you’ll see below. If your transcripts and other academic documents are from a school outside of the US, please upload unofficial scans of your international academic credentials through your myUNT student portal. After you have received your student account activation email, you can log in to your myUNT portal and upload your documents through the Admissions tile or Tasks tile.  Select the document you want to submit and upload it through Add Attachment. We can’t take emailed transcripts, marksheets, or degree certificates. English proficiency test results and GRE scores must be sent directly to UNT from the testing service. UNT’s school code is 6481.

Please check the status of your application at http://my.unt.edu. This is the most current information on your application. It will list any pending information needed.

Due to the large volume of applications received to the department, we do not pre-review applications via email. Applications are processed by the Graduate School and then forwarded to the department if they meet all the previous departments' requirements. If it states that the application has been forwarded to the department it is in committee to be reviewed. Once a decision has been made it will be posted and reflect on http://my.unt.edu.

Calling or writing the department will NOT speed the process. The department will not give you a time frame on when a decision will be made. The department will contact applicants at the email listed on the application if more information is needed. The department is aware of the appointments that international students make in their countries to receive the proper documentation to attend UNT. Due to the constant change in international law international students need to direct ALL international, I20, and/or VISA questions to the International Advising Department at internationaladvising@unt.edu.

You can update/defer the term of entry on your application with the link below.

You cannot update a denied application. If you have been denied previously and you still want your application to be considered, you must reapply and submit an entirely new application. The department and graduate admissions committee will not review a denied updated application.

Due to the high volume of applicants, we do not accept Summer intake applications for international applicants. If you have applied for Summer intake, please update/defer your application to a different term with the link below. When you update your application, you will receive a notification within 7-10 business days. Updating your application does not guarantee a spot within the program.

The department provides excellent opportunities for financial support for our best students! The application for departmental financial support is very competitive, and while we support a substantial number of students through assistantships, the number of applications we get is many times the number we can award. In Spring 2022, for example, over 400 students applied for roughly 40 open positions.

However, the Toulouse Graduate School does offer other means of funding to our graduate students. The link below is an excellent resource for graduate students looking for funding outside the department:
