In addition to meeting the admission requirements of the Graduate School, applicants for regular standing in the M.A. program in English must present either an undergraduate major in English from an accredited college or university with a major average of 3.2 or better, or five appropriate upper-division courses in English with an average of 3.5 or better in those classes--and have an overall undergraduate grade point average of at least 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale). Applicants must also submit a five-page writing sample on a subject related to English using secondary sources. Applicants whose overall grade point average is between 2.7 and 3.0 may be admitted to conditional standing by action of the English department graduate committee. Funding opportunities to offset the cost of tuition are available to students once they have been admitted to the program.
