Transcript:
Request transcripts from all prior institutions to be sent to UAB including institutions where you might have taken only one course (information on how to do this is provided in Apply Yourself). The preferred email addresses for electronic submission of transcripts are as follows: SOEtranscripts@uab.edu and gradschool@uab.edu. If you have international transcripts, you should send a copy and then bring the original transcript with you.
Recommendation Letter:
We require three (3) letters of recommendation from the applicant’s professors or from others who are qualified to judge his or her potential for doctoral work and prefer that those letters be submitted through the online application, though we will accept hard copies mailed to the School of Education at the address provided above.
Writing Sample:
Additionally, we require a writing sample: an essay describing the applicant’s academic training, professional experience, and career goals or else a scholarly paper the applicant has presented at a professional meeting.
