In addition to the University's minimum requirements and those listed above, all applicants are expected to submit a statement of purpose and a writing sample. Care should be taken with the statement of purpose and the writing sample, since the quality of thought and argument these exhibit, as well as their style, weigh significantly in admissions decisions.

Applicants are expected to meet the following requirements: an undergraduate major or program that prepares one for advanced study of literature; a grade-point average in English courses and in the junior and senior years of at least 3.5.

Applicants who hold a master's degree are expected to have a grade-point average of at least 3.7 in all graduate courses and a correspondingly higher score on the Subject Test.

Students admitted into the graduate program enter the first phase of the doctoral program, successful completion of which results in the award of the MA degree.
