How to Apply

Application for Admission

The University of Georgia Graduate School has separate processes for students applying from within the United States and those applying internationally.

Domestic Application Information and Application Forms

International Application Information Forms

Application for admission into either the MA or Phd program for the following academic year, and for financial aid, should be received by January 15.  A complete application includes:

A) the application form and fees, and all transcripts, which are submitted to the Graduate School; Submission of GRE score reports are optional.

B) a CV, a statement of purpose of 2-3 pages, and a writing sample of 12-15 pages;

C) 3 letters of recommendation, which may either be uploaded through the Graduate School once the application is received, or sent directly to the attention of the Director of Graduate Studies, Comp. Lit. Department. 

The Graduate School also requires international applicants to submit English language proficiency scores and a statement of financial certification. See the Graduate School's website for additional country-specific requirements. The program accepts new students in the fall semesters. Under exceptional circumstances applicants may be admitted at mid-year, but in such cases students are unlikely to receive any financial assistance.
