Prospective graduate students, including University of Utah seniors, apply for admission to graduate study through the University Admissions Office and through the relevant department. The Application for Admission to Graduate School is available through each department or from the Admissions Office.
An applicant for admission to the Graduate School must meet the following minimum requirements:
- An undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0, based on all undergraduate work. If the undergraduate GPA is below 3.0, a GPA will be calculated on the last 60 semester hours (90 quarter hours) of the undergraduate work for admission consideration.
- A bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college or university.
- Recommendation of the faculty in the college or department in which the applicant wishes to study.
Departments and colleges may establish additional criteria for admission in accordance with the general guidelines established by the Graduate School.
The University of Utah is committed to a policy of nondiscrimination and equal opportunity in all programs, activities, and employment. Moreover, students may not be denied admission to graduate work solely because they obtained a prior degree at the University of Utah.
More information, including international requirements, deadlines and links to the online application, are available at the homepage for University of Utah Admissions: http://www.sa.utah.edu/admiss/graduate.htm.
