Eligibility Requirements for International Freshman Students
| Test Type | Engineering Majors | All Other Majors |
|---|---|---|
| SAT I Test | 1270 | 980 |
| ACT | 28 | 23 |
The SAT score is calculated by combining the highest evidence based Reading, Writing, and Math score. The ACT is the composite score, which included the English, Reading, Math, and Science sections. UTA does not require an essay.
Test Score Optional
Please be advised that UTA is test score optional for admission through summer 2024. If you apply for admission without these test scores your application will be evaluated based on high school records such as GPA, class rank, courses taken and other relevant criteria. However, test scores can help in determining admissions decisions and scholarship opportunities.
Non-Ranking High Schools
UTA welcomes applicants from non-ranking public or private high schools. You must meet the requirements outlined above and will be considered for admission based on individual review, which may consider other factors like grade point average in place of class rank.
International Admissions Forms
Cost of Attendance & Visa Requirements
The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service requires that you show proof that adequate resources are available to meet their first year of educational and living expenses, currently estimated at $42,706. A completed financial statement form must be completed and returned with the indicated documentation before an I-20 can be issued. Financial documents may be submitted online. If you are already studying in the U.S. on an F-1 (student) visa, you must have established transfer eligibility before transfer is initiated by UTA by submitting a school transfer notification.
