EPP M.Ed. Application Requirements

All graduate students are required to apply to the state application system ApplyTexas. We strongly encourage you to start this process well in advance of the deadline to allow us time to process your information. Visit our “How to Apply” page for departmental requirements and processes.

The GRE is no longer required for those applying for admission to the EPP M.Ed. program. If applicants choose to submit GRE scores, they will not be reviewed or considered by the admissions committee.

Your Statement of Purpose should describe:

  • why you are interested in pursuing a master’s degree in Educational Policy and Planning (EPP) at UT Austin;
  • any life experiences that have contributed to your decision to apply to pursue a M.Ed. in EPP;
  • any personal experiences, achievements, or accomplishments that would help you contribute to the program and the University’s mission for diversity and inclusiveness, and
  • your career aspirations once you complete your degree.
