Priority dates for applying are as follows: Fall Semester- June 15th Spring Semester- October 15th
All materials for your application, including all official test scores and transcripts, should arrive at the Graduate School admissions office by these
dates in order to be processed in time for consideration and admission. You must request official GRE/TOEFL scores early to ensure that they
arrive by the dates above.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION
Effective: August 1st, 2005

All students1 applying for graduate study, Master’s or PhD, must have completed a 4-year bachelor’s degree, and must take the GRE test. GRE
guidelines are based on statistics for all GRE scores of students interested in graduate study in Computer Science & Engineering, as released by
ETS (the Educational Testing Services). These statistics change as new figures are released by ETS. In addition, international applicants who
do not have a previous degree from a U.S. institution must take the TOEFL exam. It is the student’s responsibility to have official scores sent
from ETS to the University of North Texas and those scores must be received by the priority date in order to be processed and considered for
admission that semester. If you do not meet the minimum English requirements, you will have the option of registering for the 
Toulouse Graduate School IELI program. https://international.unt.edu/content/why-wait

Our program is open to high-achieving students from engineering, computer science, math, and science-related backgrounds. Each applicant’s
transcripts will be reviewed to determine if their background is suitable for admission into the concentration of their choice and/or if leveling
coursework is required. If leveling coursework is needed, students may be required to take undergraduate leveling courses to prepare for
coursework in the concentration of their choice.
Admission is competitive and based on the number of positions available in our program.

MAINTAINING GRADUATE STANDING


All graduate students are expected to make satisfactory progress toward a degree. An overall B average must be maintained, and two courses per
year (not previously attempted) must be completed or evidence submitted showing activity in thesis or dissertation work.
For the M.S. degree, all requirements must be completed within six years from the date of admission.
Any provisionally admitted student who fails to fulfill the requirements specified at admission or any student who for two successive semesters fails
to maintain at least a B average will be dropped from the program, unless after a review of the student’s overall record, it is the opinion of the
Graduate Committee that the student has demonstrated sufficient potential to pursue the graduate program successfully. In this case, probationary
status will be granted for one semester.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Teaching Assistantship or Teaching Fellow (TA/TF) positions are offered to current Computer Science & Engineering majors who are
attending classes at UNT. Prospective students are welcome to apply, but these positions are very rarely offered to potential new
students, and preference generally goes to PhD students. Research Assistant (RA) positions are selected by the individual professors from
their current students. Students must submit a completed TA/TF Assistantship Application Form, separate from the Admission Application
form, to the Computer Science & Engineering Department. The application form is available on the website at
https://computerscience.engineering.unt.edu/webforms/assistantship-application.
