GRADUATE SCHOOL ADMISSION

Applications for admission to the Graduate School and two official copies of transcripts of the applicant's academic record at each college and university attended since high school graduation must be submitted to the Graduate School Admissions Office, 119 Ozark Hall, and approved in advance of registration. The transcripts will become a part of the student's permanent file at the University. Applications may be obtained by writing to the Graduate School Admissions Office, 119 Ozark Hall, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR 72701, or by calling (479) 575-4401.

Additional information and procedures for making application to the Graduate School are included in the catalog for the Graduate School.

Admission to Graduate Standing

To be admitted to graduate standing a student must have earned a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited U.S. institution or from an institution with substantially equivalent requirements for a baccalaureate degree, and must have an overall cumulative grade-point average of 2.70 or better on all courses undertaken prior to receiving the baccalaureate degree.

Admission to graduate standing does not admit a student to a specific program of study leading to a graduate degree. Therefore, in addition to satisfying the general requirements of the Graduate School, the applicant must also comply with the specific requirements and have the approval of the department in which graduate study is desired.

Under certain conditions, applicants for admission to the Graduate School may be required to present satisfactory scores on the Graduate Record Examinations or another specified national standard test.
