To be admitted to the Master of Arts in English program students should have a Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution with a major in English. Applicants with a Bachelor's degree in an area other than English will be considered on an individual basis. Additional undergraduate course work may be required for admittance to the MA in English program.

Applicants must meet the following standards prior to or no later than the end of the first semester of enrollment as a degree-seeking student. Failure to do so will prohibit continued enrollment.

    1. A gradepoint average of 3.0 or above over the last 60 hours completed for the Bachelor’s degree and a Graduate Record Exam (GRE) score of 850 or above (verbal plus quantitative)

    OR

    An admission index of 1450 or above. Admission index is determined by computing the formula: (GPA X 200) plus the sum of the verbal and quantitative sections of the GRE.

    2. Applicants must submit three academic recommendations from non-relatives who can attest to the ability of the applicant to master graduate studies in English.
