Transcript:
One official transcript (grade slips and web printable transcripts or reports will not be accepted for use in evaluation) from all previous academic work, undergraduate and graduate. Transcripts showing the last 90 quarter (60 semester) credit hours of graded work of the first baccalaureate degree must be included. Include all graduate and post baccalaureate transcripts. International applicants must provide a certified English translation of their academic transcripts, as well as in the original language. To be official, transcripts must be issued directly by the school and arrive at the Graduate School in an unopened envelope.
Curriculum Vitae:
A current curriculum vitae (CV) or résumé.
Personal Statement:
A Statement of Objectives and your particular fields of interest. This is normally completed with the on-line application. Send a copy of your statement only if you did not complete this section when submitting your on-line application. The Statement of Objectives should include a discussion of your academic and research background and future interests. It should also identify which professors in the Department are potential faculty advisors for your interests, as described at the top of this page.
Recommendation Letter:
Three letters of professional reference addressed to the Graduate School. If you have a master's degree, include a letter from your major professor. No special form is required, although the letters should be written on official letterhead. Letters can be submitted by the referee electronically, requested through the Graduate School's online application. Alternatively, hard copies of reference letters can be sent to the Graduate School address.
