General Admission Requirements
Admission standards for graduate programs (master’s degree, certificate, and Ph. D.) at The University of Texas at Tyler shall be based on recognized predictors of success. All graduate programs must have admission standards that incorporate at least two predictive measures. Examples of such predictors are standardized admission tests (which typically assess a combination of verbal, quantitative, writing, and analytical reasoning), undergraduate grades, previous graduate study grades, standardized tests which assess content specially linked to the discipline, professional recommendation letters and/or ratings. Recommendation letters must address relevant motivational and experiential factors that support the likelihood that the applicant will be successful in the program to which admission is sought.
