Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
General admission requirements consist of a bachelor\xc2\x92s degree with at least a "B" average and three letters of recommendation. GREs are strongly recommended. Although we do not require a particular score, we use it as one form of measurement to help us make a final decision in the application process.
All original application documents must be sent directly to the Graduate School, not to the graduate program, and the deadline for fall application is January 31. International students also must submit satisfactory scores on the TOEFL or the IELTS examinations.
In addition, applicants for the M.A. in Intercultural Communication should have a working knowledge of the language of their specialty (English, French, German or Spanish), such that they can carry out graduate studies and write extensive papers in it. At least one letter of recommendation should attest to that knowledge. Applicants also should have a grounding in a complementary field (e.g., African-American studies, American studies, anthropology, cultural studies, education, ethnomusicology, health sciences, history, linguistics, literary studies, psychology, political science, social work, sociology).
