How to Apply
Admission to the MAEE Graduate Program
All applications to the MAEE Program should be submitted online through the Office of Graduate Students (OGS) applications portal
In addition to the general prerequisites for admission set by the Office of Graduate Studies, the Department of English requires:
- a minimum 3.00 general and major grade point average. The Departmental Graduate Committee may consider applicants whose general and major GPA is between 2.75 and 2.99, if compelling justification for the lower average is provided in the Personal Statement of the application;
- a one-page, single spaced Statement of Purpose written in English, to be submitted with the online application;
- an Academic Writing sample (e.g. course paper) to be submitted with the online application;
- three Letters of Recommendation from faculty members or other professionals who are familiar with the applicant’s academic and professional work.* Formal letters should be attached to the recommendation form provided with the application; and
- a Personal Interview with a member of the Departmental Graduate Committee or the Chair of the Department.
- International students whose native language is not English must also submit their TOEFL scores. The minimum score required is 550 for the paper-based test, 213 for the computer-based test and 79 for the internet-based test.
*There will be space on the online application to list recommenders and their contact information. The OGS will then contact recommenders directly to request their responses.
