Prospective students are encouraged to consult with their respective academic departments regarding the admission process before making a formal UW application.
Applicants must submit the UW graduate application and the nonrefundable application fee. One set of official transcripts must be sent directly to the UW Admissions Office from each previous collegiate institution.
Domestic applicants must have completed a bachelor’s degree or equivalent from a regionally accredited institution. All applicants should have at least a 3.000 cumulative GPA (scale of 4.000).
Some graduate programs may require standardized examination scores for admission.
Applicants whose department requires the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) must request official scores be sent to the Admissions Office directly from the Educational Testing Service (ETS). Our institution code with ETS is 4855.
Some departments may require scores from the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), rather than the GRE.
Letters of recommendation may also be required by some departments. Please see the academic department or program entries elsewhere in the Catalog for details about admission requirements.
Graduate applicants should contact the respective academic departments for questions concerning application status, degree program requirements, deadlines, and supplemental application materials they may require.
Advanced-degree applicants may be admitted to the University of Wyoming in one of the following categories:
Students admitted with graduate standing may elect to take any undergraduate or graduate courses for which they are prepared, subject to restrictions as outlined in the University Catalog. However, tuition will be assessed at the graduate level for all courses taken with graduate status. Admission to graduate study does not automatically make a student a candidate for an advanced degree.
Note: Students working toward a second bachelor’s degree are not considered graduate students and are subject to all undergraduate regulations.
