Admissions

Thank you for your interest in the Jackson School of Geosciences. If you are a current high school student who hopes to join the Jackson School as an incoming freshman, select one of our majors on your application to The University of Texas at Austin. Additional application information can be found on the UT Office of Admissions website.

Undergraduate students who are already enrolled at The University of Texas at Austin may enter the Jackson School through an internal transfer process which occurs twice a year. Please visit the Jackson School’s Internal Transfers webpage for details about the internal transfer process, deadlines, and upcoming information session dates to learn more about our school and programs.

Entrance to the Jackson School as an undergraduate follows standard UT procedures as outlined in the UT Austin General Information and Undergraduate Catalog.
