| Rank in Graduating Class | SAT Test Results | ACT Test Results |
|---|---|---|
| Top 25 Percent |
Math score of 590 or higher Total score of 1140 or higher |
Math score of 23 or higher Composite score of 23 or higher |
| Top 50 Percent or No Rank Provided |
Math score of 620 or higher Total score of 1170 or higher |
Math score of 24 or higher Composite score of 24 or higher |
| Less than 50 Percent |
Math score of 650 or higher Total score of 1250 or higher |
Math score of 26 or higher Composite score of 26 or higher |
Freshmen applicants to Engineering Technology programs must have a Math SAT of 570 or better; or a Math ACT of 22 or better.
WHAT IF I DO NOT MEET THE ENGINEERING ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS?
For applicants admitted to UNT but not meeting engineering admission criteria, you will be admitted to the College of Engineering as a pre-major. Pre-majors complete the same engineering courses as majors while receiving additional advising. You will transition to a full major when you have completed the requirements below. Here’s the pathway advisors will use to transition you to a full major Engineering student at UNT:
- Attend new student orientation and register for the appropriate Math classes. Information on Orientation can be found at http://studentaffairs.unt.edu/orientation-and-transition-programs/programs/orientation/freshman-orientation or http://studentaffairs.unt.edu/orientation-and-transition-programs/programs/orientation/transfer-orientation.
- Please review and follow the steps in the “Internal transfer to Engineering” section.
- Learn about the full admissions process (includes admissions requirements, individual review, deadlines, fees, and ways to apply)
- Required tests (such as THEA) and exemptions
- Advanced Placement (AP) and Credit by Exam (CLEP)
