Transcript:
Transcripts: Your unofficial transcript from each college or university that you have attended is required. International students should also upload an English translation if the transcript is not in English.
Personal Statement:
Statement of purpose: A statement no longer than 1000 words that focuses on giving the admissions committee a clear sense of your readiness for graduate work in English language and literature. PhD and MA applicants should avoid making the statement of purpose a personal statement weighed down with autobiographical anecdotes. Applicants should indicate which of the department’s subfields best fits with their goals and how the faculty at the University of Minnesota can further their interests.
Recommendation Letter:
Three letters of recommendation: Paper copies are not accepted. Applicants who wish to use Interfolio should follow instructions on their website. Preferred recommendations come from current or former professors who can assess your potential for graduate work. PhD or MA applicants may include other recommenders such as employers if you have been away from academia a substantial length of time.
Writing sample:
For the PhD or MA, your sample should be expository, typically a paper for a literature course that represents your interests and skills (20 pages maximum).
Diversity Statement:
Two diversity fellowships are also available for incoming graduate students: Diversity of Views and Experiences (DOVE) and Interdisciplinary Center for Global Change. If you feel that you qualify for either fellowship and would like to be considered for nomination, please submit a statement explaining your candidacy. Label the document either "Diversity Fellowship Statement" or "Interdisciplinary Fellowship Statement." If you are submitting either of these documents with your application, please upload them through your online graduate school application under Statements #2.
