Transcript:
Transcripts (upload only) – DO NOT mail hard copies to Communication.
Curriculum Vitae:
Résumé (1–2 pages) is required.
Personal Statement:
Personal Statement (600 words). The essay allows you, within a limited length, to explain your goals and reasons for seeking to pursue a degree in communication. Clear writing, concrete illustrations, and deep knowledge of the program and department faculty can distinguish your statement from others.
Recommendation Letter:
Three letters of recommendation, each with an accompanying RATING FORM. (M.A. – preferably two from professors; Ph.D. – preferably from professors.)
NOTE: The top half of the RATING FORM is completed by the applicant, then sent to each recommender. Each recommender completes the bottom half of the Rating Form. Applicant must inform each recommender to save the letter of recommendation and the Rating Form together and upload as a "single document."
Writing Sample:
Writing sample (optional for M.A. applicants). The admissions committee reads the sample to consider your writing ability as well as your academic training. Please submit a PDF of your best prose. Good choices for the sample might be a published article or accepted paper from a refereed scholarly conference or journal, an essay or term paper an instructor rated superior, a defended M.A. or senior thesis or chapter, or any other example of your outstanding writing and thinking on any topic. There is no length requirement, but 15-25 pages is a good range (including references). When reviewing the writing sample, we consider the originality and depth of your sustained thinking about research and theory, as well as the quality of writing (whether it is clear, direct, and concrete). Because our programs focus on research, please do not send media production samples.
