International undergraduate students:If you are pursuing your first bachelor's degree or transferring from another college in order to complete your first bachelor's degree, to apply for admission to UNT, please complete the online admission application and submit all required documents and payments according to the instructions.
International graduate students:If you have already earned a U.S. bachelor's degree or its equivalent and are pursuing either a second bachelor's degree, a graduate certificate, a master's degree or a doctoral degree, you must apply for admission to UNT through the Toulouse Graduate School.
