| Admissions: How to Apply
There are three minimum requirements before an
applicant can be considered for admission to the transatlantic Ph.D.
program. First, applicants are expected to have earned a M.A. degree.
Secondly, at least one of the previous academic degrees (either B.A.
or M.A.) has to be in history. Thirdly, the
applicant must have a graduate GPA of 3.5, a GRE verbal score of at
least 550 and an analytical writing score of at least 5 on the GRE
aptitude test. If the student fulfills these requirements,
he/she can submit an application to the
Graduate
School
and the Department of History at the
University
of
Texas
at Arlington (UTA).
The application is two-step process. Students are encouraged to apply
online to the
Graduate
School
at UTA. Please go to https://www.applytexas.org/adappc/commonapp.WBX
to apply online. In addition, applicants need to send a letter of
intent, a writing sample (e.g., research essay, thesis chapter), and
three letters of recommendation on his/her behalf directly to the
Ph.D. Graduate Advisor in the History Department. Please send these
documents to:

If the student applies for financial aid and fellowships, the
application has to be submitted before February
1. The admissions committee meets to evaluate applications in the
first two weeks of March. The committee accepts applications only for
admission beginning with the fall semester of the academic year. Students
who want to be considered for admission need to submit their
application by June 1.
Afterwards the admissions committee might not be able to consider
applications for admission..
The admissions committee can grant unconditional admission,
provisional admission, or probationary admission. An applicant unable
to supply all required documentation (e.g., official transcripts or
GRE scores) prior to the admission deadline but who otherwise appears
to meet admission requirements may be granted provisional admission.
Provisionally admitted students must provide any incomplete
documentation by the end of the semester in which they are admitted.
If the applicant fails to do so, the Department may then reclassify
the applicant as Probationary, defer the decision, or ask the
candidate to leave the program. An applicant whose performance,
according to the criteria, approximates but does not meet minimum
admission standards may be granted Probationary Admission subject to
the condition that the candidate must earn no grade lower than a B in
his/her first 12 semester hours of graduate work taken at UTA.
The
admission committee will defer or deny an application if two or more
of the criteria have not been met satisfactorily. A deferred decision
may be granted when a file is incomplete or when a denied decision is
not appropriate.
