Graduate Studies requirements for all programmes: online application, unofficial transcripts (all college-level records for international applicants), and verification of English proficiency if the applicant's native language is not English. Programme-specific: GRE (optional) English Proficiency: Minimum 550 paper TOEFL, 79 internet TOEFL, or 6.5 IELTS. Resume/CV Personal Statement: This statement is one of the most critical parts of your application. This is your opportunity to tell us about your personal and professional goals, why you desire a graduate degree in this area, and anything else that provides the Graduate Committee with a glimpse of "who you are." Demonstrate to the Graduate Committee that your goals have been well thought out and that you understand what you are getting into. If you have job and/or volunteer experience that is relevant to your academic pursuits, be sure to provide details. It is helpful to highlight your strengths, although you should also address any weaknesses (such as poor grades or low GRE scores) and describe how that will affect your success as a graduate student. If you believe extenuating circumstances have hindered your academic progress, describe them in enough detail to help the Graduate Committee judge your application. (1-2 pages) Faculty: Identify at least one (max 3) graduate faculty members with whom you are applying to work. Applicants must have at least one advisor willing to accept them and serve as their faculty mentor; applicants who apply without a confirmed advisor will be denied.
