Admissions

Students can apply to the Moody College Honors Program both as incoming freshmen, and while they are current students at the University of Texas at Austin.

Incoming Freshmen

Applications to the Moody College Honors Program are accepted through the UT Austin Freshman Honors Application, which is part of the regular freshman application process.

A high level of scholastic aptitude is beneficial, but far from the only trait that defines a Moody Honors student. We look for applicants who are capable of critical and independent thinking, with intellectual curiosity, creativity, and a variety of experiences and backgrounds. Freshmen applicants must select a major in Moody College as their first choice major in their admissions application.
