PhD Linguistics at Purdue University

Entry requirements

Programme-specific requirements (Purdue Graduate School). Cumulative Grade Point Average from most recently conferred undergraduate, graduate, or professional degree: 3.4 or equivalent (A=4.0) Master’s Degree Completion: Not required before admission. However, it must be completed during the first two years of the doctoral program with a 3.6 GPA or equivalent. Writing Sample: Applications for admissions to the Ph.D. program must include a writing sample relevant to Linguistics. This writing sample may be something written specifically for the application, a term paper for a previous course, M.A thesis, or published work. The writing sample at the Ph.D. level should show your general writing ability and also that you have a sufficient understanding of Linguistics to enter at the Ph.D. The writing sample should be written in English. If the student does not have a writing sample in English (e.g., international students from non-English-speaking countries), the student can submit a writing sample in the language she/he is seeking to concentrate on (Spanish, French, German or Japanese). If the student has writing samples written in English and in the foreign language seeking to concentrate on, both writing samples will be welcome. Digital Por
