Qualification Requirements
The student must initially meet all general University admission requirements. Scores from the Graduate Record Examination general test are required. For regular admission, students must generally have at least 24 undergraduate hours in English, or a closely related field, with a grade point average of 3.0 or better. However, students applying to the professional writing concentration (see professional writing concentration) may have little or no undergraduate course work relating to English, provided that they have an average of 3.0 or better in their undergraduate major. Students applying to all concentrations must also, in addition to other admissions materials, provide a writing sample, preferably of previous professional or academic work, that demonstrates their preparation for graduate-level writing. All students in the English graduate program must demonstrate a high level of skill in written expression.
For regular admission, students must score 230 on the computer-based TOEFL (the equivalent of 570 in the older, paper-based score scale or 80 on the TOEFL iBT).
