Transcript:
Copies of transcripts of your post-secondary studies.
Personal Statement:
A 1-2 page Statement of Intent, in which you explain your research interests, academic background and training, and your interest in the MA program at Carleton University.
Recommendation Letter:
Letters of reference from two referees. Normally the referees are people who can attest to your academic skills and potential. It is best to ask people who can speak to your writing and research skills and performance in academic courses, as those people are likely best positioned to speak to your promise as a graduate student in a research-intensive program.
Writing Sample:
A sample of your academic writing; applicants can upload a recent term paper that demonstrates your critical thinking, research and writing skills.
