Admission

To enter a graduate degree program, a student must have a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent, an undergraduate record of high caliber and acceptance by the department concerned. All domestic applicants who wish to be considered for financial aid must submit all required application materials before January 15 of the proposed year of entry into the program, and all financial aid forms before February 15. All international applications for a master’s degree or for the Diploma in American Studies Program must be received on or before January 15 of the proposed year of entry into the program. The deadline for admission without financial aid to most graduate programs is April 1 of the proposed year of entry for the first semester, and November 1 for the second semester. The exception to this deadline is the Master of Fine Arts in Dance; all applications to that program must be received by January 15.

Applicants must submit the following: the formal application, the application fee ($60), an official transcript of the undergraduate record, letters of recommendation from instructors at the undergraduate institution and scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). For the Master of Arts in Teaching (elementary/middle) and the Master of Education of the Deaf (M.E.D.) only, the Miller Analogies Test is an acceptable alternative to the GRE. Applicants from non-English-speaking countries must submit official results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Applicants from English-speaking countries must submit the Graduate Record Examination. Candidates must also submit a paper written in an advanced undergraduate course, except for MFA playwriting candidates, who must also submit one or more full-length scripts or their equivalent.
