In addition to meeting minimum requirements for admission to the Graduate Division outlined in this catalog, an applicant must have:
A minimum of 24 semester hours of acceptable undergraduate course work in English beyond freshman composition;
A 3.0 grade average in English courses;
Approval by the departmental graduate committee;
For a foreign student, TOEFL score of 610 or higher.
Students who do not qualify for classified standing but who meet university requirements for graduate admission and whose past performance gives promise of satisfactory completion of requirements for admission to classified standing may, with the approval of the departmental graduate committee, be admitted as conditionally classified in the MA - English program.
Admission to candidacy for the Master's degree in English requires favorable action by the departmental graduate committee and by the University Graduate Committee. Applicants will observe the stipulations relative to such items as transfer credit, time limit, completion of the Graduate English Writing Requirement and scholarship stated in this catalog. They should particularly note that fitness for advanced study and professional training, not merely high grades or the satisfaction of formal requirements, is a prime requisite for graduate work.
