Applicants who have already developed interests in specific
research areas should indicate these preferences. We recognize
that students often discover other areas of interest as
they are exposed to new fields.
Applicants must take the GRE aptitude examinations, and
are encouraged to take one advanced subject exam. Students
will be admitted on the basis of academic records, GRE scores,
and letters of recommendation from at least three faculty
members. Students who have attended universities at which
English is not the primary language of instruction
must submit TOEFL scores. A minimum TOEFL of 600
(paper-based test), 250 (computer-based test) or 100 (TOEFL iBT) is needed for admission.
The admission procedure will commence in the first week
of January and continue until the class is full. Students
are urged to submit applications early (before January 1)
to get early consideration, but later applications will
be accepted until the class is filled.

graduate program, please refer to the Graduate School of
Arts and Sciences website.
