Preferred Deadlines
January 15 for fall admission Advisors
Philip A. Guerrero Dr. Stephen Grand  Application Procedure for Prospective Graduate Students: How to ApplyApplications must be complete in the Graduate and International Admissions Center (GIAC) by January 15 for fall admissions (see online application). GIAC will forward a copy of your application and GRE scores to the departmental graduate office. Applications received after these priority deadlines will be considered on a less favorable basis. If you miss the admissions deadline and wish to apply to our graduate program, contact the Graduate Coordinator for details on submitting a late application. You are strongly encouraged to complete the online application well in advance of the actual deadline. Once submitted online, the application can still take up to two weeks to reach the department, so you should not wait until the deadline to apply. The online application includes the statement of purpose and electronic
letters of reference. Applicants should, however, send directly to the
department copies of their college transcripts. Unofficial copies are ok.
NOTE: Do NOT send official transcripts intended for the
Graduate and Inter-national
Admissions Center (GIAC) to the department. They will not be forwarded to
GIAC, and this can seriously delay your application, even causing it to be late. International students should also read the section on Information for International Students. The procedures may vary if the applicant is not a US citizen/resident, or is a former UT student applying for readmission. See GIAC for full information. Applicants to our graduate program are expected to have completed a minimum of two college level courses in calculus, physics, and chemistry, with a grade of C or better, as well as courses in geological sciences, including field training appropriate for the subject of interest. Specific programs may require additional prerequisite coursework. Any deficiencies in these areas must be addressed early in a student’s program. Other areas of study that are identified by a student’s mentor and examining committee as deficient should also be addressed early in a student’s program.
