Admission to the Graduate School

Application for admission to graduate study must be made through Graduate Admissions.  The completed graduate application for admission includes one official transcript from each institution previously attended and an application fee payable to The University of Tennessee. An undergraduate Grade‑Point Average (GPA) of 2.7 on a 4.0 scale, or 3.0 during the senior year, is required. This is the minimum requirement for admission to The Graduate School. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) aptitude test is required by the department and should be submitted to the Office of Graduate Admissions and Records. In addition, three online letters of recommendation must be completed by former professors in the major field(s) or employers and submitted to Graduate Admissions. If the student’s native language is not English, scores from Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) must be sent to Graduate Admissions. See The University of Tennessee Graduate Catalog for more information on the regulations of The Graduate School.
