Admissions

  1. A completed Graduate Application form. Please visit Official transcripts from each institution (undergraduate and graduate) attended.
     
  2. Candidates must supply three references, which indicate strong language skills and an ability to do academic work at the graduate level. If possible, referees should address directly the applicant’s suitability for graduate work in Applied Linguistics. At least TWO letters should be from academic sources (previous professors); one of the three can be from employers, teaching supervisors, or principals. References should state clearly how long the referee has known the applicant and in what capacity. If a candidate is unable to submit letters from academic sources, the reason should be referenced in the statement of interest.
     
  3. Non-native speakers of English must submit an official TOEFL score report with a minimum score of 575 on the paper-based test (PBT), 230 on the computer-based test (CBT), or 79 on the internet-based test (iBT).
     
  4. The Graduate Record Exam is not required but may be submitted to bolster an applicant’s academic record.
