We do require the standard GRE exam scores, but we do not require the GRE subject test. There are two separate parts of the application. The first part of the application is operated by the Graduate School, The second part of the application is the submission of a writing sample. The writing sample is to be uploaded online. The sample should be uploaded in MS WORD format and must not be longer than 25 pages. Please upload the writing sample to the link above concurrently with the application materials you are uploading to the Graduate School site. This should occur before the final deadline. If it is not possible to upload your writing sample electronically, please mail it to the English Graduate Studies Office.
The Graduate School admits applicants who have one of the following minimum scores (some departments may require a higher score):
• 577 for paper-based TOEFL
• 90 for an Internet-based TOEFL
• 7.0 for the IELTS
The Graduate School requires at least two letters from specialists in your field of study (for this purpose, that means English professors). As part of your online application, you must upload one copy of the scanned unofficial transcript from each undergraduate and graduate institution where you earned (or will earn) a degree, studied for one semester or more, earned 12 or more hours of credit, or took classes that relate to your graduate study interests.
