General requirements

Students applying for the M.A., M.F.A., or Ph.D. degree programs must hold a B.A or B.S. degree from an accredited college or university, and have a cumulative grade-point average of 3.2 or higher. Students holding an M.A. or M.F.A. in English are eligible for admission into the Ph.D. program.

The B.A. to Ph.D. direct track option is available to applicants to any program who do not hold a master’s degree in the field. A candidate with a B.A. will submit application materials at the same time as other candidates (December 15). If accepted, the student receives a teaching assistantship for the first year.

Those denied admission into the B.A. to Ph.D. direct-track program may instead be offered admission into the M.A. or M.F.A. program.
