Qualification Requirements

GRE scores are optional. They can be used to provide evidence of quantitative and writing skills, but the absence of GRE scores will not be weighed against your application. You are encouraged to consult with your prospective mentor(s) in the program prior to submitting your application. They may help to indicate the types of skills that would be most useful to see documented in your application based on the type of research they conduct. Note that this is not a temporary response to the pandemic. It is the current policy in effect for our program.
Our program uses a holistic review procedure that looks for a good fit of interest with the research conducted in our program and considers a wide range of factors associated with success in graduate school. A required personal statement is an essential component of this holistic review as it provides a personal perspective on each applicant. This statement should be approximately 1,000 - 1,500 words and explain your plans and preparation for graduate study and a professional career.
We require a personal statement, CV, transcripts, and three letters of recommendation. Electronic copies of unofficial transcripts for all undergraduate and graduate coursework should be submitted. Applicants who receive an offer of admission will need to submit official transcripts after receiving an offer.
