Admission

Prospective UT Students

Incoming freshmen and (external) transfer students can declare Health & Society as their major at the time of their application to UT. For new student admission information, please visit the Office of Admissions website.

Internal Transfer Admission 

The internal transfer application is currently closed. Applications will re-open in the beginning of the spring semester. 

Current UT students interested in declaring Health & Society must submit an internal transfer application.

To be considered for internal transfer into H S, you must meet all of the following criteria:

• Attend an Internal Transfer Information Session (see below).
• Minimum 2.75 cumulative UT GPA with at least 12 hours in-residence taken for a letter grade.
• Must be prior to fifth long semester in college, at UT Austin or at a previous institution. Transfer students entering the University with 4 or more semesters can only apply in their first semester at UT.
• Submit a compelling essay response.

Students who do not meet the eligibility criteria and still want to apply can explain their circumstances within the application.
