Graduate Program

Pending policy review by the University of Texas Board of Regents, the GRE is no longer a requirement for applicants to the Modern Languages with a concentration in French or Spanish graduate program. The Modern Languages graduate program will not consider GRE scores when making admissions decisions. If you have taken the GRE, please refrain from submitting your scores as they will not be considered as a component of your application.
