Transcript: Transcripts for all colleges and universities previously attended. Copies of unofficial transcripts (not web-based academic histories) should be uploaded into the online application prior to submission of the application. Do not send hard copies of official transcripts until you have received notification of admission from the Office of Graduate Admissions. After you have received such notification, hard copies should be mailed to: The University of Tennessee-Knoxville, Office of Graduate Admissions, 201 Student Services Building, Knoxville, TN 37996. Curriculum Vitae: CV / Resume — 1-2 pages outlining your work, publication(s), and teaching experience, if any. Personal Statement: Statement of Purpose (1-2 pages describing your reasons for applying to a graduate program in English and the kind of study you wish to pursue, including your area(s) of interest.) Recommendation Letter: Three letters of recommendation. It is best to have the rating forms completed by professors or instructors who have had you in their courses. They can more accurately evaluate your performance in the classroom than can a supervisor or coworker at your place of employment, an athletic coach, or a clergy member. The admissions committee wants to read evaluations of your ability to complete graduate work in English successfully. An English professor is the best judge of that ability. Writing Sample: A critical writing sample of up to twenty pages with works cited (longer works discouraged). Applicants for the MFA concentration and for the PhD with Creative Dissertation must also submit a creative writing sample of no more than twenty-five pages of fiction or creative nonfiction, or fifteen poems.
