APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

The following must be submitted to be considered:

• Statement of Purpose — In addition to research interests, experience, and objectives, candidates are invited to include an optional paragraph describing contributions to outreach efforts and/or promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.
• Three letters of recommendation, at least two of which are from faculty or recent employers.
• TOEFL score is required if native language is not English. A successful applicant will normally have a total TOEFL iBT score of at least 100. Our program will accept expired test scores from applicants who have recently completed a degree in the United States if the applicant can present a copy of an official score report showing the applicant's picture, not an unofficial score listing. 
  • We do not issue waivers for non-native speakers of English. In particular, we do not issue waivers based on previous study at a U.S. high school, college or university. We also do not issue waivers based on previous study at an English-language high school, college or university outside of the United States. No amount of educational experience in English, regardless of the country it occurred in, will result in a test waiver.

Note:  When submitting your application, you may be asked to enter the date you expect to take the GRE.  If this happens, just enter any date in the future. This field is disregarded because GREs are not required for admission.
