Requirements for Admission
(Effective August 1, 2005)
All students applying for graduate study, Master's or Ph.D., must take the GRE test. GRE requirements are based on statistics for all GRE scores of students interested in graduate study in Computer Science and Engineering, as released by ETS (the Educational Testing Service). These requirements change as new figures are released by ETS. In addition, international applicants who do not have a previous degre from a U.S. institution must take the TOEFL exam. It is the student's responsibility to have official scores sent from ETS to the University of North Texas and these scores must be received prior to the deadlines in order to be considered for admission that semester.

A prior Computer Science and Engineering degree is not required for admission to the Masters program, but the admissions committee will look for evidence that the applicant has a good chance of thriving in a scientific graduate program. A prior Computer Sciences & Engineering degree, or substantial Computer Sciences experience, is required of Ph.D. applicants.
Admission is competitive, and based on the number of positions available in our program.
