What are the Admission Requirements for UT Arlington?

I'm interested in applying to The University of Texas at Arlington. Can someone explain to me what the specific requirements are for admission? For instance, are there any particular high school courses that they require?

The University of Texas at Arlington (UT Arlington) has a relatively straightforward set of undergraduate admissions requirements. The general requirements are:

1. Complete an application for admission: UT Arlington accepts applications for admissions through ApplyTexas or the Common App.

2. Submission of high school transcript: You must submit your official high school transcript documenting all coursework undertaken during your high school career and your graduation date. UT Arlington also requires that high school coursework be completed in certain subjects, referred to as the "Recommended High School Program" which includes:

- 4 units of English

- 4 units of math

- 4 units science

- 2 units of foreign language

- 1 unit fine arts

- 0.5 unit PE/ROTC

- 5.5 units electives

- 2 units speech (demonstrated proficiency)

3. Standardized Test Scores: As of the 2024-2025 application cycle, UT Arlington requires the submission of SAT or ACT scores. However, they don't provide specific minimum cutoffs for these scores. They review each application holistically, which means that they look at the entire application, including test scores, GPA, course rigor, extracurriculars, essays, and other elements.

4. Essays: UT Arlington may require students to complete one or more essays. The prompts will be listed on the application.

5. Pay the $75 application fee. A fee waiver is available if you meet certain eligibility criteria.

Note that, if you're planning on entering certain programs such as Nursing, Engineering, or Business, there may be additional requirements or competitive admission. It's a good idea to check the specific requirements for your intended major on the UT Arlington's website or reach out to the admissions office for more information. Make sure to also be aware of application deadlines to ensure your application is considered.
