In addition to the grade requirements, the University requires three letters of recommendation, a statement of purpose, and a complete set of official transcripts. All application materials must be sent directly to the Graduate School:

If not a native speaker of English, a TOEFL score of 550 or better is required. If the non-native speaker of English applicant is to hold a teaching assistantship, he or she must also present a Test of Spoken English (TSE) score of 50 or better, or pass an evaluation conducted by the International Teaching Assistant Program.
