Graduate Application Process
Graduate Application Process
Translate this page:
For full consideration of fellowship
stipends, all domestic and international applications should be submitted by the
January 5th deadline and provide all of your
application materials by mid-January (this applies to both domestic and
international applicants). After January 5th, files will be considered for
fellowship stipends based on available funding (note we have only a limited number of awards which cover
non-resident tuition). All files will be considered for financial support in the
form of teaching assistantships.
All students are required to take the general GRE. International students
whose native language is not English are required to take the Test of
English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Minimum TOEFL scores: 550 written/213
computer. For those international students,
preference for admission and fellowships will be given to those taking and
passing the Test of Spoken English (TSE) or TAST. Those international students
who pass the TSE or TAST will also be eligible for additional money by serving
as a part time teaching assistant.
Students with a Junior/Senior year GPA of 3.25 and General GRE score above 1100
are considered qualified for a Teaching Assistantship. Students with a
Junior/Senior year GPA of 3.5 and General GRE score above 1200 are considered
for our highest fellowship stipends. The quality of institution,
letters of recommendation, and demonstrated ability to conduct independent
research are all strongly taken into consideration.
Use the following department and
institution codes when requesting your scores from ETS.
Institution
code - R4839
GRE dept code - # 0213
TOEFL dept code - # 45
