51ÁÔÆæ graduate students in English who want to apply to the doctoral program must submit an\u00a0Application for Admission<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to the Graduate School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internal applicants do not<\/strong> need to supply transcripts and do not have to pay an application fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The English Department requires that the student\u2019s committee deliver to the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies a recommendation for admission. The recommendation is delivered via the signed Warrant for Masters Examination. The Warrant is executed by the student\u2019s Committee immediately after the student has completed the Masters examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

51ÁÔÆæ English graduate students may apply for admission to the doctoral program for the spring as well as the fall semester. Master\u2019s students should submit their application for admission to the PhD program at the same time that they apply to graduate. Both forms should be submitted to the Graduate School as early as possible in the semester the student intends to graduate. Acceptance into the PhD program is not automatic; the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies approves all recommendations for admissions to the doctoral program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Masters students who have applied to the doctoral program should take the exam in time for the student\u2019s committee to make a recommendation on admission to the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies before the last day of classes in the semester in which the student is to graduate. Recommendation for doctoral studies by the student\u2019s master\u2019s examination committee and approval by the Associate Chair are required for admission to doctoral studies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
