Requirements

Applicants must comply with university procedures in applying for admission to the English Graduate Program. Application is made through the Office of Graduate Studies and Research, with duplicate materials submitted to the Coordinator of the English Graduate Program. See the web site for Office of Graduate Studies and Research for complete details.
   

In addition to these requirements, applicants must submit a portfolio that includes:

1) A letter (2-4 pages long) from the candidate addressed to the English Graduate Committee. This letter should introduce the candidate, describing

            - academic background,
            - short and long-term professional goals,
            - how graduate study in English at TAMU-CC may
                   meet your personal or professional goals.

    The candidate may also include details about background,
    language proficiency, and other personal information that
    may have influenced the decision to pursue graduate study
    or that relates to individual/career goals.

2) A recent academic writing sample of at least 2000 words, which the applicant believes displays exemplary analytic and stylistic features.

3) Three letters of recommendation.

Admission to the program will be granted based upon undergraduate performance, writing ability, demonstrated commitment to professional goals, and other favorable indicators presented in the portfolio.
   

Beginning Fall 2002, the GRE is not required for admission.

   

At the discretion of the English Graduate Committee, applicants lacking the English undergraduate major may be required to complete upper level undergraduate English credit before being admitted.
   

A limited number of scholarships and research assistantships are available to first-year students. Application should be made directly to the Coordinator of English Graduate Studies in the form of a short letter that accompanies the candidate's admission portfolio.
