18 Characteristics of UTSA Doctoral Programs

Admission Requirements. The minimum requirements for admission to the Doctoral degree program in Computer Science in addition to University-wide graduate admission requirements are as follows:

• a B.A., B.S., or M.S. degree in computer science or a related area;
• the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) general test—verbal, math, and analytical sections. The GRE computer science subject test is strongly recommended but not required. When GRE scores are used to determine admission, applicants will be compared to applicants with similar socioeconomic backgrounds; and
• three letters of recommendation attesting to the applicant’s readiness for doctoral study.

Admission is competitive. Satisfying the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. An application should also include a résumé and a statement of research experience and interest. Applicants will automatically be considered for scholarships, and teaching and research assistantships.
