Requirements for Admission
The minimum requirements for admission are as follows.
1. All applicants to the SLA Doctoral Program must meet the minimum requirements for admission established by the Graduate School.
2. The SLA Doctoral Program requires a Masters degree in a foreign language, English, applied linguistics, linguistics, or education. (Contact SLA Co-Director Sally Magnan if your M.A. is in a field other than one listed here.)
3. Students seeking admission to the program with a specific language concentration are required to demonstrate oral proficiency in that language.
4. Upon entering the program, most students will have completed one graduate-level course in methods of teaching a foreign or second language, one graduate-level course in linguistics, and one course with a substantial research component.
Note: Neither the Graduate School nor the SLA Program require GRE scores. However, they are recommended as GRE scores may play a role in decisions of financial support, particularly university fellowships. For GRE scores to be considered, they cannot be older than 5 years.
