Application Procedures

A completed application must include:

  1. completed application form
  2. a statement of specific interest in pursuing a graduate education at The University of Montana. This statement should outline the applicant’s area of desired specialization and faculty members previously contacted regarding graduate study opportunities. Applicants are encouraged to contact individual faculty members in their area of interest to determine faculty interest, space availability, and funding opportunities;
  3. three letters of recommendation;
  4. official transcripts of all college work;
  5. official Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores; and
  6. official Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) scores if applicant’s native language is not English.

The student is responsible for completion of the application file. Please note that applications sent to us by FAX are not acceptable. It typically takes 6 to 8 weeks from the date of your TOEFL or GRE examination for the scores to be reported. Application files are checked periodically and the student is informed of any materials, which are lacking. No action will be taken on any incomplete files.

Prospective graduate students should obtain application materials from:
