December 15: Deadline for domestic and international students
Offers of admissions will be sent by the end of March.

Please upload scans of all application materials in Slate.
Do not send materials by mail to the Office of Admissions or the Pharmacology and Toxicology Office unless instructed to do so after an offer has been made and accepted.
To upload paper materials you need to scan them with a scanner/printer save them in PDF format and then upload the files in the appropriate place. If you have several pages for your transcript, for example, then you will scan each page then merge all pages in to one document and then save. You may need to reduce the file size either by reducing the document size or optimizing scanned PDF to make the document smaller. These functions can be found under the document tab of ACROBAT.
We require all applicants to upload their personal statement, CV, and transcripts when submitting the online application. If you have not uploaded these items before submitting, your application may be considered incomplete. If you have questions/concerns, please contact our office.
You do not need to contact faculty before applying to the Program. All offers will be made by the Admissions Committee independent of whether a faculty has an opening or not. You are more than welcome to contact faculty of interest though.

Three letters of recommendation must be submitted into the Slate system by your recommenders by the deadline of December 15, 2024.
You can log back into your application and send your recommenders a reminder. You can also add new recommenders and make edits to previously added recommenders. When the recommenders information is saved, an email will be sent with instructions on how to proceed with the online recommendation.
Please note that notification emails will indicate "The University of Utah Office of Admissions" as the sender and will come from admissions@utah.edu. If your recommenders use a spam-blocking tool, please ask them to add this email address to their list of known/safe addresses.
Submit your application! Once you have completed the application questions and uploaded the required documents complete the Signature and Review process. On the Review page Slate will alert you to missing or incomplete information in the various sections.
The Office of Admissions will email during the review process if additional materials are needed.
The University policy states that applicants must have a bachelor's degree from a regionally-accredited U.S. college or university or equivalent, at least a 3.0 or higher undergraduate weighted mean GPA on a 4.0 scale, and international students must have an iBT/TOEFL 80 or higher, IELTS 6.5 or higher, or Duolingo 110 or higher. (Minimum score requirements are subject to change).
Please visit this site for more information about requirements and waivers:

University policy states that applicants must have one of the following :
- Duolingo 110 or higher
- iBT/TOEFL 80 or higher
- IELTS 6.5 or higher
- Meet one of the specific criteria listed on https://admissions.utah.edu/apply/international/english-proficiency/ , for example if you are a native English speaking citizen of an approved country.
Please note that class instruction in English does not meet this requirement. Typical English proficiency waivers are:
- An associate, bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree from a regionally-accredited U.S. college or university completed within two years of admittance
- A bachelor's, master's or doctoral degree from a regionally-accredited or ministry of education approved college or university within the past two years from one of the approved countries.
Applicants whose first language is not English must submit the TOEFL, IELTS or DUOLINGO examination for consideration or satisfy requirements that waive the English proficiency requirement. The University Office of Admissions determines exceptions to the English proficiency requirements.
We do accept applications from students where the final degree is still in progress. Please be sure to submit your application before the December 15 deadline with all other required materials and available transcripts in progress. Your final transcripts showing the awarded degree will be required next fall during matriculation if an offer is made and accepted.
You do not need to send official transcripts to the University until an offer is made and accepted. You will have to upload a copy of your transcripts with your application for the internal review. Please note that the transcripts must display your name, an insignia or header from your institution, and be in English.
