Requirements for Admission

The Admissions Committee will consider the following factors in conducting an individualized, holistic review of applications for admission:

• Letters of recommendation
• Research experience
• Professional experience
• Grade-point average
• Undergraduate curriculum breadth and rigor
• Personal statement and motivation for a career in health informatics**
• Personal integrity
• Ability to communicate in English
• Race or ethnicity
• Socioeconomic background

Applicants should take note that letters of recommendation and professional and/or research experience(s) should include not only who, what, when and where, but also how well applicant(s) understand the work or research itself beyond just the techniques that applicant(s) carry out, and ultimately, how applicant(s) communicate these elements in the personal statement. 

**The Master of Science program in Health Informatics aims to increase and strengthen the health information technology workforce in North Texas. We seek candidates that are motivated to apply learned materials in their current and future positions.
