Qualification Requirements
Please submit your CV, unofficial transcripts, personal statement, three letters of recommendation, and writing sample through the online application system. If a recommendation letter must be dispatched separately, it can be sent by mail to the Department of English or by email to the Graduate English Office, but this may delay your application review.
Applications to the English graduate program must be for either the MA or the Ph.D. program - not both. Applications for the MA/Ph.D. should be marked Ph.D
Please indicate whether you are interested in a Teaching Assistantship (TA) in your application. If you wish to be considered for an award from the Graduate School, please indicate it on your application. The Graduate Executive Committee can only consider those applicants who have communicated their interest in the application.
