Requirement for Admission

An applicant for admission to Graduate Studies who is seeking a graduate degree must hold a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution. The Bachelor’s degree must be substantially equivalent in content to degrees granted by Texas A&M University-Commerce. Each applicant will submit to the Office of Graduate Studies and Research the following:

  1. an application for admission to Graduate Studies,
  2. a $35.00 non-refundable application fee may be paid online, for payment information click here
  3. an official bachelor’s degree transcript and a transcript from any school at which the student has completed graduate courses (these transcripts should be sent directly to the Office of Graduate Studies and Research by the issuing institutions). Students applying to the BPA/MBA five-year program should contact their major adviser. A bachelor’s degree transcript is not required for admission for students applying to the BPA/MBA (accounting) program. The BPA/MBA program is only available to Texas A&M University-Commerce students.
  4. an official copy of the aptitude portion of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) must be submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies and Research through the Educational Testing Service. Students applying for admission to a Master’s in Art or a Master’s in Music are not required to submit GRE/GMAT scores. Applicants to a master’s degree in elementary education, early childhood education and reading can contact the Department of Elementary Education for optional criteria in regard to the GRE exam. Students pursuing a M.B.A. or M.S. in economics or M.S. in management, marketing, e-commerce, computer science or industrial technology may submit either the GRE or the GMAT. Applicants for nondegree status or holder’s of a master’s degree (from a regionally accredited institution) who are seeking a second master’s degree may be exempt from this requirement pending departmental requirements.
    Admission is invalid if granted on the basis of incorrect information or on the omission of facts which, if known, would have caused the applicant to be ineligible. Students on academic suspension from another institution will not be admitted to A&M-Commerce until their specific period of suspension expires.
