We admit PhD candidates to the program beginning in the fall semester only and only with financial aid. For that reason, your complete PhD application packets is due when the financial support application is due, which is usually January 15.

To be admitted to the Ph.D. program the student must have a master's degree or be in the final stage of completing requirements for the degree.
If you are a non-U.S. citizen, please see information for international applicants.

In addition to the materials requested by the Graduate School, all English PhD applicants must submit a Teaching Assistantship Application Form. (For requirements specific to the English graduate programs, please see English Graduate Program website.)
International applicants must also submit a TOEFL score report with the application packet.
GRE General Test is required, but for PhD in Composition Studies, Subject Test (literature) is not required.
