    1. Completed application for admission.

    2. Application/processing fee ($15 US or permanent residents, $65 International applicants)

    3. Official transcripts, with the baccalaureate degree posted, of all upper-division and graduate work at accredited U.S. institution(s) or equivalent work and degree at a foreign institution. Applicants must submit one official copy of each transcript and two additional photocopies for institutions other than UTEP.

    5. A satisfactory score on a standardize examination (GRE, GMAT, MAT), if required by the graduate program, and a score of 550 or higher on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) for international students when English is not the first language.

    The Graduate Studies Committee of the proposed graduate major will recommend to the Graduate School acceptance, conditional acceptance, or rejection of the application after all required documents have been received and reviewed by the Graduate School.
