Application Information


Applications to the UTD AuD Program are accepted from September 1 through January 15. Early applications are encouraged. Review of completed applications begins in December and interviews are scheduled through February and March.

The UT Dallas AuD Program is highly competitive. The admissions committee evaluates applications on several dimensions, including undergraduate GPA, GRE scores, letters of recommendation, commitment to scholarship, as well as evidence of prior community engagement, professional experiences, leadership history, success in the face of barriers, and personal growth. All students, including those who are out-of-field, are encouraged to apply.
