Welcome future Students! We are excited that you have taken the time to learn more about the school.

The University of Texas Medical Branch is one of 15 campuses of the University of Texas System. UTMB is dedicated to educating health science professionals and researchers, caring for patients, and solving biomedical puzzles through scientific inquiry. Established in 1891 as the University of Texas Medical Department, UTMB has grown from one building, 23 students and 13 faculty members to a modern health science center with more than 70 major buildings, more than 2,800 students and more than 1,600 faculty. The 100-acre campus includes four schools, two institutes for advanced study, a major medical library, a network of hospitals and clinics that provide a full range of primary and specialized medical care, an affiliated Shriners Burns Hospital, and numerous research facilities.  

Applicants are strongly encouraged to request to have their transcripts sent ELECTRONICALLY to UTMB whenever possible. This greatly expedites processing and improves the accuracy of transcript evaluation. The accepted standard for this process in Texas goes by the name: SPEEDE.
