PhD English at University of Georgia

Entry requirements

Students currently in the M.A. program who plan to apply for the Ph.D. must meet the same deadlines and provide the same evidence as students applying to the program from outside the University. In particular, students should discuss with the Graduate Coordinator the advisability of retaking both the GRE and the English subject test. Scores more than five years old are not accepted by the Graduate School. Except in unusual circumstances, M.A. students will not be formally admitted to the Ph.D. program or awarded assistantships until they have completed their M.A. degrees. All applicants to the Ph.D. program, whether from outside the University or from our own masters’ students, are treated in precisely the same fashion by the Graduate Committee and are judged according to the same admissions standards.
