circle Entry requirements
Applicants must possess a bachelor’s degree from an institution regarded as standard by the University and a regional accrediting agency.
Admission is competitive. New students will only be accepted as facilities can accommodate, regardless of the number of qualified applicants. Remember to check the application deadline for each department.
Scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) , Graduate Management Test (GMAT) or other appropriate professional test must be submitted if required by the major department. The examinations are administered through the Educational Testing Service, PO Box 6004, Princeton NJ 08541-6004. Information and registration bulletins for the GRE and GMAT are usually available in the TCU Graduate Studies Office (Sadler 313); GMAT applications may also be obtained from the MBA Office in the Neeley School of Business.
A non-refundable application fee of $60 is required with all applications payable when application is submitted. Some professional programs have additional application fees.
We are excited to welcome students who are part of a Department of Education McNair Scholars Program. We waive the $60 application fee for McNair Scholars. There is a place on the application to indicate that you are a McNair Scholar. We will confirm this with your institution and process your application without the payment
For unconditional admission, the student must have satisfactory undergraduate preparation for the particular degree sought and have met all requirements for admission. Individual departments, schools, or colleges may set different standards and require particular placement tests.
Conditional admission is granted to applicants who have completed all admission formalities, have a sufficient and superior undergraduate record, but lack certain prerequisites for the graduate program selected. It is also occasionally granted to qualified students who have been unable to complete all admission formalities (e.g., all official transcripts have not yet arrived). The University assumes no responsibility for continued enrollment or for graduate credit if these students are denied admission upon evaluation of their completed records. These students must register during the regular registration period; late registration is not permitted.
Conditional admission will be changed to unconditional admission when the necessary prerequisites and/or admission formalities have fulfilled
