UT Arlington Acceptance Rate: Admissions Statistics and English Requirements

The University of Texas at Arlington admitted 80% of its 24,623 first-year applicants for fall 2024, according to the federal IPEDS data UTA reports. The rate was 81.3% for fall 2023 and 80.8% for fall 2022.

UTA does not currently post a public Common Data Set, but like every US college that takes federal student aid it reports its first-year applicants, admits and enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (IPEDS). This page uses those official figures for the last three cycles with published data, and lists the TOEFL and IELTS scores UTA asks of international applicants.

What the numbers mean

UTA admits about four in five first-year applicants, and that share has held steady at 80–81% across the last three published cycles while applications grew from 21,963 for fall 2022 to 24,623 for fall 2024. For fall 2024, 26% of admitted students enrolled.

The IPEDS figures count degree-seeking first-time, first-year applicants for the fall term only; they do not cover transfer students, and they do not break admissions down by college, major, residency or international status. UTA does not publish an official international acceptance rate.

College Navigator shows fall 2024 as a rounded percentage (80%) and does not show the number admitted; the fall 2022 and fall 2023 rates are computed from the exact applicant and admit counts in the IPEDS data files.

UTA reported a record freshman class of more than 5,100 first-time students for fall 2025 and total enrollment of 42,710. International applicants must also meet the English proficiency minimums below; scores must be sent to UTA directly by the testing service.
