Applicants who are not U.S. citizens should apply for admission at least six months before the anticipated enrollment date. If transferring from a college or university they must meet all UNT Health Science Center transfer admission requirements. Specific requirements are detailed below.
The health science center will not issue immigration papers for student visas until all admission credentials have been received and approved. A $25 application fee is required and must be submitted with the application for admission. These fees are subject to change at any time.
Applicants who are graduates of foreign colleges or universities must present the following for application:
Application forms for admission to the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences
The $25 application fee and a $50 transcript evaluation fee (if applicable). All fees must be paid in U.S. funds.
Official reports from Educational Testing Service (ETS) on the Graduate Record Examination
Official reports from ETS showing a minimum score of 213 on the computer-based Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or evidence of successful completion of a non-credit intensive course in English
Official transcripts from each college or university attended both in English and the native language as well as official degree certificates.
Proof of available financial resources, filed with application for admission
Transfer credit from foreign universities. The amount of such credit that can be applied to a degree earned at the health science center will be determined by the graduate dean on recommendation of the student's advisory committee and major department or division. Recognition by the health science center of graduate credit earned elsewhere does not imply that transfer credit will be allowed automatically.
Two letters of evaluation from individuals in a position to comment on the applicant's potential as a graduate student and future professional.
English screening examination
A written statement of personal career goals
A personal essay describing one recent scientific discovery (on cancer-related field), explaining how or why it is of interest to the applicant.
