Unofficial transcripts are acceptable as a placeholder, but you will be required to provide official transcripts before you will be admitted to our graduate programs. A concise two to three-page statement about yourself and your academic goals. This statement should address your background and life experiences, including cultural, geographical, financial and educational opportunities or challenges and explain how this graduate program will help you meet your objectives. We utilize the letters of recommendation to evaluate a student's academic and research potential and strongly recommend that you obtain recommendations from faculty members or other individuals who can specifically comment on those attributes. If you have prior teaching experience, we encourage you to have at least one letter writer address that. Our admissions committee will only read two letters per applicant. Provide a research essay from an upper-level undergraduate English course (for those applying without the M.A.) or a master's level English course (for those applying with the M.A.). Please do not submit more than 20 pages of material. IELTS 6.5 (overall band), 79 internet-based (iBT and iBT Home Edition) 550 paper-based (PBT)
