To apply to the Graduate Program in Arts and Technology (M.A., M.F.A.), the Graduate Program in History (M.A.), or the Graduate Program in Humanities (M.A., M.A.T., Ph.D.), you must directly supply the Office of Enrollment Services with a completed application form and transcripts:

Step 1. Fill out an application form. Your application is important to us so please read the following instructions before you submit your information to UT Dallas. We use the online ApplyTexas Application in our admissions process.

• It can take between 4 - 6 weeks to process applications once received at UT Dallas.
  
• As you fill out your application, remember to save every page as you input information and then submit it at the end.
• Once your application has been verified, you will receive a letter which will include your eight-digit UTD-ID and a unique six-digit PIN number.
• Be consistent in how your name is used in all the documents you submit. Inconsistencies may cause delays in processing your documents.
• When mailing your supporting documents, include your UTD-ID number or if you have not recieved your UTD-ID number, include your ApplyTexas Application six-digit number at the top of each document.
• You may track the progress of your application by going to www.utdallas.edu/status. Be sure you have your UTD-ID and PIN ready.
  

Step 2. Send official transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate work.

Normally students applying for admission to the Graduate Program in Arts and Technology should have a previous academic degree (B.A. or B.S.) in an appropriate field (i.e., Art, Computer Science), a grade point average of 3.3 (especially in upper-division undergraduate work), and evidence of previous course work and/or expertise in the creative arts and digital technology.

Normally students applying for admission to the Graduate Program in History should have a previous degree (B.A. or B.S.) in history or related disciplines and a grade point average of 3.3 (especially in upper-division undergraduate work).

--------------------------------------------

Step 3. Write a 650-word narrative essay, which should be reflective rather than factual. Use this essay to address your academic interests and goals and then to indicate how you believe the specific Graduate Program and degree for which you are applying might enable you to pursue them.

Step 4. Send three letters of academic recommendation. Since recommendations are used for the sole purpose of determining academic potential, you should seek them from your teachers. If you have lost contact with former teachers, you may submit letters from professional supervisors and colleagues, but purely personal letters from friends or ministers are not helpful for our purposes.

Please send the the essay and letters of recommendation directly to the School of Arts & Humanities at:

--------------------------------------------

Each application is considered on its individual merits.

The Graduate Record Examination is no longer required, but GRE scores may be requested to augment or clarify a student's academic record.

The Associate Dean for Graduate Studies may require students with background deficiencies in interdisciplinary work to take additional courses at the undergraduate or graduate level to remedy those deficiencies.

Full-time and Part-time Students

Students can pursue the graduate degrees in the School of Arts and Humanities on a full- or part-time basis. Full-time students normally register for nine or more semester hours per term. The School takes care to accommodate part-time study by scheduling both day and night classes, thus allowing students flexibility in organizing individual schedules.
