Transcript:
Official Transcripts: These should be sent directly to the Office of Graduate Admissions (731 Elm Avenue, Room 318 Norman, OK 73019). Unofficial transcripts may also be uploaded to your online application, but these cannot substitute for official transcripts.
Personal Statement:
Statement of Goals in graduate education: This statement should include your reasons for pursuing graduate work and your proposed areas of study and research (250-500 words). Upload this document to your online application.
Recommendation Letter:
Three (3) Letters of Reference: On your online application, you will be asked to provide emails for three references, who will be contacted by the University with a request for a letter of recommendation. Request your references to comment specifically upon (1) your qualifications as a prospective graduate student (literary judgment, writing ability, originality, diligence) and, if you are applying for Graduate Teaching Assistantship, (2) your qualifications as a prospective teacher (ability to organize, enthusiasm, responsibility, objectivity). If possible, referees should use the online reference system, but if they prefer, they may send hardcopy letters directly to the Office of Graduate Admissions (731 Elm Avenue, Room 318 Norman, OK 73019).
Writing Sample:
Critical Writing Sample: It should be no more than 25 pages, appropriate to program and preferably in your proposed area of study. (If you are applying to the Creative Writing program, you must submit a creative writing sample as well.) Upload writing samples to your online application.
