Academic Requirements
Applicants should check the University\xc2\x92s admission requirements and the department\xc2\x92s web site for the most up-to-date information on graduate applications. Electronic submission of application materials is strongly preferred. Applicants are encouraged to submit the initial on-line application form well before the application deadline, preferably by mid-December, since this form must be processed before an applicant is able to submit other electronic materials. Note that the January 5th target date applies to all applicants, domestic and international. Applications normally require:
- Application Form & Application Fee: See the Graduate School web site. Early submission of the initial on-line application is strongly encouraged.
- Statement of Purpose: This should provide a clear explanation of what your objectives are in pursuing an advanced degree in Linguistics, and at Maryland in particular. Mention specific interests or relevant experience where applicable. The Statement of Purpose is not a literary contest or an invitation to flatter members of the department; there is no \xc2\x91recipe\xc2\x92 for a strong Statement. The Statement of Purpose allows the Department to better understand an applicant\xc2\x92s goals, interests, and how well the applicant will be served by the department\xc2\x92s areas of expertise.
- Writing Sample(s): This should preferably represent original work done in linguistics, but work in other fields showing evidence of careful analysis and independent thought is also acceptable. Writing samples should be in English.
