You are a domestic graduate applicant if you:

• are a citizen or permanent resident of the United States (or applicant for permanent residency)
   OR
• graduated from a Texas high school after three years in residence in Texas (please review Senate Bill 1528)
   AND
• hold a bachelor’s or professional degree (or equivalent)
  
  

Note: If you are currently enrolled as a degree-seeking graduate student or the break of enrollment between the two graduate programs at Texas A&M University will be less than a calendar year, you should submit a Letter of Intent or Petition to the Graduate and Professional School.

If you do not meet the criteria above, you are an international graduate.

Refer to your program’s website for specific application information. Most academic programs utilize the Texas A&M University GraduateCAS.   

The $65.00 fee (in addition to a centralized application service processing fee) is required to process an application for admission. This fee may be waived only in exceptional cases for low-income applicants and McNair Scholars. To receive the waiver, you must submit an awards letter from your current school’s financial aid office showing the award of a Pell Grant. Your Student Aid Report (SAR) from a current FAFSA that shows eligibility for the award of a Pell Grant may also be submitted to demonstrate financial need. McNair Scholars must submit a letter from their McNair Program Director verifying their status as a McNair Scholar in good standing to receive the fee waiver. 

Submit this information by email to d-nichols@tamu.edu and include your major of interest and term of application.

You must submit transcripts from all colleges or universities attended (excluding community colleges). Transcripts may be uploaded for review via the respective application service; however, if you are admitted and intend to enroll, you must provide an official transcript directly to the Office of Admissions before you will be allowed to register for classes. Transcripts can be submitted through SPEEDE, PARCHMENT and National Student Clearinghouse. 

Note: You do not need to submit an official transcript from Texas A&M University, but you may be asked to upload one in the central application service (CAS).

Use code 6003 for reporting GRE scores for non-engineering programs (Department code not needed).
