Admissions Requirements
Applicants should
have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university.
Ordinarily, applicants are expected to have been English majors,
but admission will be considered also for those who otherwise demonstrate
the competency necessary for successful graduate work in English.
In addition to
undergraduate records and letters of recommendation, applicants’
scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE)-only the general
test is required and, for international students, the Test of English
as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), are considered in the admission process.
Special student
status is occasionally granted by the English Department Graduate
Studies Committee to some students who do not meet all requirements
for admission. Such students are admitted provisionally and are
expected to make up any deficiencies within a specified period of
time.
Applicants should submit the following:
-
Completed application form for Indiana
University Graduate School
-
Official transcript of previous college
and/or university work
-
Three letters of recommendation (from
university instructors and/or professional associates)

Verbal, quantitative, and analytic scores
from the GRE (International students must also submit TOEFL
scores.)
Since the schedule
of the program is based on Fall admission, applicants should complete
the GRE by December of the year prior to admission. Information
about the dates of the GRE can be obtained by writing to Graduate
Record Examinations, Educational Testing Service, P.O. Box 6000,
Princeton, NJ 08541-6000 (telephone: 609-771-7670). Information
