How to Apply
How to Apply
Applications for Fall 2021 are open.
Applicants are automatically considered for merit-based fellowships during the admissions review process as long as funds remain available. No additional application is required.
Test Scores
For the 2020-21 application cycle (Fall 2021 entry), the LBJ School is offering a one-time, temporary waiver of the GRE, due to the unique challenges brought on by COVID-19. The GRE is optional for this cycle only and applicants may submit a GRE score if they feel it will strengthen their application. Please email the LBJ Admissions Team at lbjadmit@austin.utexas.edu to let us know if you will be submitting a score. We do not accept the IELTS. Visit UT's website for more information about test scores.
